It's always the same moon, but the shape of the visible lighted portion changes.

Whatever shape of the moon you see right now, you'll see the same shape again

after 29.53 days have passed.

How many days in one moon year?

A "Moon year" is almost exactly the same as an Earth year. That's about 365 Earth days. The Earth and Moon orbit the Sun in about 365.25 Earth days. So the answer is: about 365. If you mean how many "Moon days" in one Moon year, that's different. The Moon rotates in about 27.3 Earth days. That's one definition of a "Moon day". In that case the answer is about 365/27.3 days = about 13.37 days.
