!) You need to get an attorney IMMEDIATELY and ask this question to your attorney. These are serious charges and you are in deep water.
2) Contact the MD MVA to determine whether you qualify to have a MD driver's license. I know I have seen people switch prior to trial before but I do not know whether MD has any rules against it.
3) If you have a MD license and are convicted of DUI you will be banned from driving in Virginia but the Va courts will not take away your right to drive anywhere else. Some Va judges will not grant restricted licenses to out-of-state license holders. About a month or two after your convicting for DUI the MVA in MD is suppose to contact you and notify that your license is being suspended for DUI. There is an entire administrative appeal process that is supposedly rather effective. Consult a MD MVA attorney about the possibility of avoiding an MVA suspension.
4) You should be having this conversation with an attorney face-to-face or at least over the phone. We do free consultations and would be happy to discuss your case.
