No, the Space Shuttle cannot land on the moon. One of several reasons, it glides like an airplane, thus requires air and there is no air on the moon.

How long does it take to get to the moon in a space shuttle?

The space shuttle is not designed to go to the moon and has never gone to the moon; it is strictly used for travelling to and from Earth's orbit (and has mostly been used to travel to the International Space Station). If the shuttle were for some reason flown to the moon, it would crash there, since it requires an atmosphere in order to land successfully. However, if it was your intention to fly the shuttle to the moon and crash, that could be done in about 3 days, in theory. I doubt that NASA would approve the mission.
