It doesn't. The molten core of the moon has long since cooled off and solidified.
The moon appears to change its shape depending where it is relative to the sun and the earth. For example, a new moon (completely dark) occurs when the sun is shining on the other side of the moon. The crescent moon appears one week later as the moon travels round the earth and we see a little bit of the illuminated side.

What causes the moon Moon to seem to change shape?
The moon looks like it changes shape because as it orbits the Earth and we only see one side of the moon, sunlight hits the part of the moon that we see at different angles - therefore making the moon "change shape". We also can only see the sunlit side of the moon from Earth and that is also another factor to the moon's apparent shape.
