How did you get constellations?
Constellations don't really exist. The individual stars exist, but the patterns, and the shapes that we "see" in the sky, are entirely imaginary. You "get" constellations when your imagination forms shapes from the separate unconnected points of light in the sky. We human beings are excellent at seeing shapes and patterns; even when there are no shapes or patterns! We make them up in our minds.

How many constellations in the universe?
There are an infinite number of constellations in the Universe, since any group of stars can constitute a myriad of different shapes according to the viewpoint from which the observer is looking from, and there are a near-infinite number of stars. If you mean how many classic, named constellations visible from Earth, then the answer is 88 for the English-speaking world. The Chinese, Arabs, Polynesians, Hindus, and aboriginal Australians all have their own constellations as well.
Why do constellations change shape?
The actual boundaries of the constellations do not change, but because all stars are moving, the shapes appear to change. e.g. Ursa Major (the Big Dipper) will be a different shape in 100,000 years as the stars that comprise it are all moving relative to each other.
Why do you see different constellations in different areas of the sky during different seasons?
You see different constellation because the constellations stay in place, but Earth moves so every season you are able to see different constellations.
