The conquest of Constantinople itself had minimal influence in the expansion of the Ottoman Empire, which already completely surrounded the city. However, it meant that the soldiers used to subdue the Byzantines could be re-purposed for other areas of the empire.

The real benefits to the Ottomans that came from the conquest of Constantinople were the riches it provided and the fact that its fall struck a strong chord with Europeans who became much more afraid of the Ottomans. It also served as a more useful imperial capital than Bursa since it was closer to the fighting in Southeastern Europe and much larger.

What was happening in Muslim lands that led European Christians to begin going on crusades at the end of the 2nd century?

Islam did not exist at the end of the 2nd century, so the question as written is unanswerable.If the question meant to ask about the end of the 11th century, the answer is that the attempted conquest by the Muslims of Constantinople led to the Byzantine Emperor (ruler of Constantinople) petitioning for help from the remainder of Europe. Pope Urban II took up the call and instituted a Crusade (a holy war) to defend the Byzantines.
