Waxing and waning refer to the cyclical phases of the moon, where "waxing" describes the period when the moon's illuminated portion is increasing, leading up to a full moon, while "waning" indicates the phase when the illuminated portion is decreasing after the full moon. This terminology can also be applied metaphorically to describe any process or situation that is growing and then diminishing in intensity, presence, or influence.

Changes in shape the moon seems to go in?

Those are called the "phases" of the Moon. The Moon can be "full", meaning we can see all of the sunlit hemisphere. It can be "new", meaning we can't see any of it in sunlight. Between those phases are "waxing and waning crescents" and "waxing and waning gibbous", and the "first and third quarter phases". The actual order of the phases is: New, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full, waning gibbous, third quarter, waning crescent.
