The reason Christians celebrate Sunday is that Jesus rose from the grave on Sunday. We thus commemorate his resurrection and the new creation which will be starting with the Lord's return.

ANOTHER ANSWER:

They do this solely on the command of the Catholic religion... not upon any Scripture or commandment in The Bible to do so. There is no biblical commandment that abrogates "the LORD's seventh day Sabbath" [which remembers CREATION... not Christ's resurrection].

The Bible commands God's servants to "remember[memorialize] Christ's DEATH" -- not His resurrection!

"...'This is My Body, given for you. DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME.'" (Luke 22:19 NLT)

Jesus... the "Christian's Living Example" [I Peter 2:21 NLT New Living Translation]... who reveals that HE IS THE VERY LORD WHO MADE the Sabbath day Holy[see Mark 2:28], kept it Himself when He walked the earth in the flesh:

"When He came to the village of Nazareth, HIS BOYHOOD HOME, He went AS USUAL to the synagogue [it was Jesus' usual custom {KJV} to 'go to church on the LORD's Sabbath']..." (Luke 4:16 NLT).

Most of the observances that the hundreds of denominations of modern professing Christianity do, IS NOT COMMANDED IN THE BIBLE... but are the commandments of men... and traceable to ancient pagan religious practices. These are the "many" about whom Jesus gives His VERY FIRST WARNING to His servants:

"Jesus told them [His disciples], 'Don't let anyone mislead you. For many will come in My Name, saying, ''I am the Messiah." [or they will come professing {in agreement} that Jesus is the Messiah] THEY WILL LEAD MANY ASTRAY.'" (Matt.24:4-5 NLT)

Modern professing Christianity doesn't follow the teachings of the Bible... or God's recorded and commanded Holy Day "Feasts of the LORD" [not the feasts of the Jews] [see Lev.23:2 & 44]. They follow the commandments of men:

"'These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far away. Their worship is a farce, for THEY REPLACE GOD's COMMANDMENTS WITH THEIR OWN MAN-MADE TEACHINGS. For you ignore God's specific Laws and substitute your own traditions.' ...'You reject God's Laws in order to HOLD ONTO YOUR OWN TRADITIONS...'" (Mark 7:7-9 NLT).

Why did Jesus change the sabbath day from 1st to 2nd?

He didn't. Firstly, you've got the numbers wrong: the Jews celebrate the Sabbath day on the seventh day of the week, which is Saturday. Christians instead meet on Sunday, which is the first day of the week. Jesus didn't change the "Sabbath", his followers did... and not immediately; the ones among them who had been Jews kept observing the Sabbath, but they also met on "the Lord's day", Sunday, because that was the day on which Jesus rose from the dead. It wasn't until there were a substantial number of non-Jewish Christians (who had no tradition of observing the Sabbath at all) that Sunday became predominant.
