The moon got its shape because of gravity. It has gravity just like the Earth does. Gravity pulls everything to the center of a big object. That's why we don't float off into space. The Earth is pulling us to its center!
The Moon may have started out as a weird and irregular shape or as a bunch of floating chunks of rocks, but over time, gravity collected it, pulling and tugging the rocks that make up the Moon together until they were collected into a neat, round ball.

Why is the moon spherical in shape?
Its the same reason as to why every other heavenly body is spherical in shape. its because any rotating body in order to conserve energy takes the shape involving least tension and hence your planets, moons are spherical in shape.
How do you know the moon is a sphere?
The moon is observed to be nearly spherical in shape because of the gravitational forces acting on it. Over time, moons and planets tend to form into a sphere due to their own gravity pulling inwards equally from all directions, which results in a spherical shape. Measurements from spacecraft and telescopes have also confirmed the moon's spherical shape.

Is the moon a spherical shape?
Yes, the moon is almost perfectly spherical - almost. <><><><><> Its actually spheroidal - like nearly all of the suns, planets and moons in the Solar System, even possibly in the entire Universe, because they rotate, and that causes an spheroidal shape as they cool.
