A plain way to say that is amost a literal translation, as follows;
- Ce n'est pas qu'il faille que vous vous arrêtiez maintenant.
- Ce n'est pas que vous deviez vous arrêter maintenant.
It can be said differently though, more explicitly;
- Que vous deviez vous arrêter maintenant n'est pas la question.

@athos It seems to me that you can't use the indicative mood here; only the subjunctive will do. ("il faut" is "indicatif présent", "il faille" is "subjonctif présent"). However it is possible that some people will use the indicative; personally I don't.
