Let say I have one router connected to two distribution switches called and A and B and obviously there is are trunk between them and they both running VSS and distribution A switch is the master and B standby, then the access switch 1 is connected to both distribution switch A and B. Let say the port that access switch is connected to distribution B as well as all the physical trunks between the two distribution switches goes down completetly can the distribution switch A foward packets from the access swithch to the router. At this point there is only connectivity from the distribution switch A to the access switch. Also would this scenario work if I use HSRP instead of VSS?

First, one the benefit of VSS is that you don't need VRRP, HSRP, etc...
As long as your access switch has connectivity to both switch A and B using Etherchannel, If the switch B and the link between the VSS pair fail, you can still forward traffic using switch A.
