The sound a violin makes is caused by vibrations (oscillations) in the string that vibrate the air around it resulting in a longitudinal (sideways moving) sound wave at the same frequency as the string. At the two ends of the string are displacement nodes where the sting can't move, the centre of the string is an anti node where the potential displacement is maximum.

When you shorten the string you shorten the length of the string and shorten the length of the wave that fits on the string and so change the frequency of the string changing it's pitch.
