      {OptionValue: 234, OptionName: "Paul", IsSelected: false},
      {OptionValue: 345, OptionName: "Jason", IsSelected: true},
      {OptionValue: 464, OptionName: "Joe", IsSelected: false}
    ]},
    { dropdownlist: [
      {OptionValue: 923, OptionName: "Adam2", IsSelected: true},
      {OptionValue: 934, OptionName: "Paul2", IsSelected: false},
      {OptionValue: 945, OptionName: "Jason2", IsSelected: true},
      {OptionValue: 964, OptionName: "Joe2", IsSelected: false}
    ]}
    ];
   
   $scope.canBeSaved = function(item) {
        alert(item);
      var found = false;
        $scope.mainItems.forEach(function(item) {
        if (item.IsSelected) {
            found = true; 
        }
      });
      $scope.hasSelectedAnItem = found;
   }
   
   $scope.save = function() {
        alert($scope.cat.IsSelected);
   }
   
   $scope.canBeSaved();
}]);

Easiest just to use ng-model (which you are) which updates the data array everytime you check/uncheck. Then you can put a function in your ng-disabled, pass along the items collection and test for a any 'true' values with Array#some. No need for the ng-check function you had.

...  ng-disabled="checkList(items)" ...

and in your controller

$scope.checkList = function(items) {
      return !items.some(a => a.IsSelected)
  }

angular.module('test', [])

.controller('myController', ['$scope', function($scope) {
    $scope.hasSelectedAnItem = false;
  $scope.mainItems = {
    itemss: [
      {OptionValue: 123, OptionName: "Adam", IsSelected: true},
      {OptionValue: 234, OptionName: "Paul", IsSelected: false},
      {OptionValue: 345, OptionName: "Jason", IsSelected: true},
      {OptionValue: 464, OptionName: "Joe", IsSelected: false}
    ],
    items: [
      {OptionValue: 923, OptionName: "Adam2", IsSelected: true},
      {OptionValue: 934, OptionName: "Paul2", IsSelected: false},
      {OptionValue: 945, OptionName: "Jason2", IsSelected: true},
      {OptionValue: 964, OptionName: "Joe2", IsSelected: false}
    ]
  };
  
  $scope.checkList = function(items) {
      return !items.some(a => a.IsSelected)
  }
   
  $scope.save = function() {
        alert($scope.cat.IsSelected);
   }
   
}]);
