How are arthropods able to grow bigger within their exoskeleton?

Because of a process called Ecdysis (also known as moulting) arthropods are able to grow bigger. In ecdysis old exoskeleton is shed and new one (slightly bigger) covers the body.

How do arthropods exchange gases?
There are several methods arthropods use for gas exchange; insects have holes in their segments called spiracles, connected to a trachea and tubules which deliver oxygen directly to tissues without needing to go through a bloodstream; and also remove waste gasses. Arachnids may use a type of simple lung called a book lung, comparable to a book gill in a similar stacked spatial arrangement for some aquatic arthropods. Other marine arthropods use gills for gas exchange, such as crabs and lobsters; crabs can continue to use gills on land so long as they remain moist. The simpler and smaller arthropods are able to perform gas exchange across their entire body surface and need no additional specialized gas exchange structures.

Can arthropods change their body shape?
Generally no, arthropods can't change their gross external morphology, owing to a rigid exoskeleton. Because of jointed limbs and segmented body they do have limited ability for flexion and extension useful for locomotion and defence (for instance, the woodlouse can roll into a ball). They are compelled to moult in order to increase in size, and many are able to regrow lost limbs through a regeneration process.
