I have an interview for an internal position that I no longer want. Wondering if it is appropriate to cancel.

I'm in an awkward situation. I applied for an internal position at my company for a slight promotion from my current role. It would be within the same department. The management structure of my department suddenly changed today and due to this change I am no longer interested in the role. I would really like to stay in my current role. My interview is set for Monday and I am wondering how best to approach this situation in a professional manner without tarnishing my current role and reputation. I am hoping there is a correct answer on how to approach this.
Do I:
-Interview as if I am still interested and then turn down the offer if offered?
-Attend the interview and use it as an opportunity to explain that I am no longer interested and why?
-Email my director and HR rep this weekend to announce that I am no longer interested and would like to retract my application, and explain why?
-Email my director and HR rep this weekend to ask for a meeting Monday morning to discuss the concerns I have in proceeding with the interview for this role.
-A combo of the last two?
I feel I have good reason for my change of mind and that they will be understanding. I would like to also save everyone's time and effort, but would like to do so in a professional way that doesn't look bad on me or my current role.
Thanks!

If you cancel, you can probably forget getting any other internal transfer at your current company. Maybe "fail" the interview by being the second best candidate?
