No. If it is right before a new moon the crescent will face one way, the crescent after a new moon faces the opposite way.

15 days one side 15 days other No it's always the same face. Because the moon spins on its axis exactly once per its orbit of the earth. It's a tidal friction effect. In zillions of year's time the same face of the earth will always face the moon also.

Is the moon always the shape of a circle?

The moon is a sphere. It is illuminated in our night sky when the sun shines on it. The sun always illuminates the same side of the moon. The moon's apparent shape - the shape we see - the part which is illuminated ranges from a left-facing thin crescent to a full circle to a right-facing thin crescent. This is because, due to the rotation of the earth, we are not always facing head-on to the side which is illuminated.

Why does the same side of the moon always face the earthy?

The Moon always faces the same side because its gravity with Earth makes it pull around us. When you see half of the Moon its because of the way Earth is rotating or how the Moon is positioned.
