Try something like this

   protected void GridViewRowUpdating(object sender, GridViewUpdateEventArgs e)
    {
          var rowIndex = e.RowIndex;
          var row = GridView.Rows[rowIndex];
          var ddl = row.FindControl("YOURDROPDOWN") as DropDownList;
          if(ddl != null)
          var value = ddl.SelectedValue;
    }
