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.

How did fall of Constantinople help contribute political change?
The fall of Constantinople in 1453 marked the end of the Byzantine Empire and significantly shifted the balance of power in Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean. It facilitated the rise of the Ottoman Empire, which expanded its influence over southeastern Europe and the Middle East, leading to the spread of Islamic governance. Additionally, the fall prompted European nations to seek new trade routes and fostered the Age of Exploration, ultimately contributing to the political rearrangement of power as European states sought to expand their empires. The event also spurred the Renaissance in Western Europe as scholars fled from Constantinople, bringing with them knowledge and classical texts.
What did the emperor of Constantinople do when he feared that his empire was going to be taken over by Muslim Turks?
The conquest of what was left of the Byzantine Empire by the Ottoman Turks was a gradual process. The Byzantines had already lost much of its territory on Anatolia (present day Turkey) to the Seljuk Turks. They tried to resist the expansion of the rising power of the Ottoman Turks at their expense. However, the Byzantine Empire had been weakened both militarily and economically by the conquest of part of its territories by the crusaders and by wars with the Bulgarians and the Serb (who took over Byzantine areas in the Balkan Peninsula). It did not have the resources to fight effectively against the rising Ottoman power. In addition to this, there was internal political instability. There were times where the imperial title was disputed among contenders and even civil wars which further weakened the Byzantine Empire. The Ottomans even interfered with Byzantine politics. There were unsuccessful attempts to meddle with Ottoman politics during an Ottoman civil war. The Byzantines had already lost much of their territories to the Ottoman Turks and became their vassals before the final conquest of Thessalonica (their second most important city in Greece) and Constantinople. By this time this empire was already exhausted its resources and was decaying. The Byzantines organised a counter-attack against the Ottomans who were besieging the very important city of Nicaea in Anatolia, but were defeated in 1329 and were forced into pay a tribute in return for the safety of what was left of the Byzantine possessions in Anatolia. Therefore, they became Ottoman vassals. Despite this the Ottomans besieged Nicomedia in 1333, which fell in 1337. The Byzantines were further weakened by Serbian expansion in Byzantine areas in Europe, by a civil war and by a plague and earthquakes. Ottoman raids led to the Byzantines being left with only one city in Anatolia, Philadelphia, which had to pay a tribute to the Ottomans. The civil war also led to the devastation of Macedonia, which fell to the newly created Serbian Empire. There was another civil war (1352-57). Taking advantage of this, the Ottomans took the fort of Kallipolis (Gallipoli), which gave them access to Europe, in 1354. Following this they took Didymoteichon (in north-eastern Greece) in 1361, Philippopolis (Plovdiv, in Bulgaria) in 1363-4 and Adrianople (close to today's Turkish borders with Greece and Bulgaria) in 1369. The Byzantines were in no position to counter this. The Ottomans also defeated the Serbs in 1371, and brought their power to an end. With the Turks were poised to take Constantinople, the emperor had to negotiate an agreement in which the Byzantines would provide a tribute in money and troops to keep the city safe. The Byzantine Empire was reduced to Constantinople and a few other settlements. The Ottomans then fought the Bulgarians. Sofia was captured in 1385 and Nis in 1386. Serbian resistance was crushed in 1389 and in 1396 the last Bulgarian city, Vin, was taken. Meanwhile there was a conflict between rival contenders to the throne in Constantinople from 1373 to 1390 in which the Ottomans took the side of one contenders who blinded his rival. However, they switched sides when the latter offered a higher tribute. A Byzantine civil war ensued and the Ottomans took advantage of this to seize Philadelphia, thus ending the Byzantine presence in Anatolia. The next emperor pursued good relations with the Ottoman sultan, became his vassal and was forced to dismantle the fortifications at the Golden Gate. In 1394 the emperor refused to obey an order and to pay the tribute and called for a crusade when Constantinople was besieged. The crusaders were crushed in 1396. The siege was ended by an invasion of Anatolia by the Mongols, who defeated the Ottomans, who then started fighting each other. The Byzantines took advantage of this, signed a peace with one of the sons of the sultan and recovered some territory in Greece. After the Ottoman civil war, the Byzantines incited an Ottoman rebellion which was crushed. In 1422 Thessalonica and Constantinople were besieged. The Byzantines Incited another Ottoman rebellion, which led to a temporary lift of the sieges. However, the rebellion was crushed and the Byzantines were forced into vassalage and had to pay another tribute. The next Byzantine emperor reconquered former Byzantine territory in Greece which had been taken over by the crusaders of the fourth crusade in 1204, who, in turn, had been subjugated as vassals by the Ottomans. The sultan attacked these territories and the emperor threatened to rebel. The Ottomans build fortifications around the Bosporus (the strait where Constantinople was) and then seized the city. No help came from the west because England and France were engaged in war and the Holy Roman Empire was lost its forces in a battle against the Ottomans.
