I cannot se it describing how to get back a kernel from stable when running testing?

And you won’t. That would be a partial update state and is not supported.
If you want to use the previously installed kernel package - use your package cache /var/cache/pacman/pkg.

I have to force shutdown by holding power button.

A recipe for desaster. Please read:
