How can I unrelease my android app after releasing in playstore?

Question

I released my app in playstore, but I want to change its current version to a beta version, and unrelease it.

How can I change the current released version of my app to be in testing phase (beta version)?

You can unpublish it, but it won't get removed from the devices of people who have already installed it. Unpublish the production application, Increment the app version code and publish a new beta version. Later you can either move the beta version to production again or increment the app version code and publish new version to the production.
