first you need to get the values from the input like this

var q = document.getElementById("question")
var ans = document.getElementById("answer")

and then vanilla javascript cannot write to a fiile so you will need to use php or node.js or for local use you can use cookies or localstorage elsewise you can use some kind of database

You can the below JS function.
You have to call the function in onSubmit attribute of HTML form.

function exportToJSON() {
  const userQuestion = document.getElementById("question").value;
  const userAnswer = document.getElementById("answer").value;
  
  const data = {
    questions: 
      {
        question: userQuestion,
        answer: userAnswer
      }
  };

  const a = document.createElement("a");
  a.href = URL.createObjectURL(new Blob([JSON.stringify(data, null, ' ')], {
    type: "text/plain"
  }));
  a.setAttribute("download", "data.json");
  document.body.appendChild(a);
  a.click();
  document.body.removeChild(a);
}

        <button class="Reset_btn" type="reset">Clear Fields</button>
