In the Theme Leagues, I see the term "twisting" players. What does that mean?

You take a roster and can use all the players on that roster, but from any season in their career.  Typically, any player listed as playing for the team on baseballreference.com is eligible, not just those with seasons in WIS.

So if you take the 1982 Yankees, Don Mattingly played for them, but not much.  If you "twist" the '82 Yankees, you can use any season of Mattingly's career.

It means that on the first day the league schedule appears, everyone must listen to Chubby Checker music.

LOL!  I am not sure I would want to join that league. 

You could upgrade to the Peppermint Twist league
