Nope, Undead with resistance... to petrification include : Allip, Avatar of Death, Banshee, Demilich, Eidolon, Ghost, Nightwalker, Shadow, Sword Wraith Commander, Wraith. Maybe there's an ability in there somewhere or perhaps a base for some homebrew.
The only one that springs to mind is the Beholder Death Tyrant but....Casting a wider net on the question, I think there are options to reflavour some abilities:
From the Monster Manual:
Banshee (flavour the wail ability as the target being petrified when they die), Death Knight (flavour the Hold Person spell as turning to stone), Ghast/Ghoul (flavour their paralysing touch as petrifictation), Lich (they have a paralyzing touch attack and you can switch out one of their level 6 spells for Flesh to Stone), Medusa (reflavour it like a vampire, it turns creatures to stone and then eats the statues), Mummy/Mummy lord (flavour both their attacks to turn creatures to stone slowly over time as their HP is reduced instead of them turnign to dust)
From Mordenkainens:
Death Lock Mastermind (flavouring their Hold Monster ability as the target become stone like), Skull Lord (Swapping out the level 6 spell Eye bite for Flesh to Stone), Stone Cursed (actually a construct but easy to switch the creature type to undead)
I havent gone through Volo's yet but there may be others.
Hey all - does anyone know of an Undead statblock that has the ability to turn things to stone?
