The amniotic sac holds a developing foetus when it is in the womb. The fluid it contains (the amniotic fluid) acts to protect the foetus. Think of a goldfish in bag of water - even if you accidentally knock the bag the fish doesn't feel anything. The same principle applies.

What change takes place in the liquid inside a thermometer when it is placed into somthing cold?
The liquid inside the thermometer "contracts" when it is placed into something cold. This means that it decreases in volume and increases in density. This is the reason that the thermometer can measure heat: the volume of the liquid inside the thermometer changes as a function of heat, and the amount of liquid in the "tube" of the thermometer changes as a function of volume. Because of this relationship, the level of the liquid in the tube of the thermometer changes as a function of heat.
