A pole shift is not what causes the continents to move. It is the pressures from under the oceans' plates.

Will a pole shift happen in 2012?

It is possible, the most likely scenario if at all is a magnetic shift which will not cause cataclysmic events. The other type of pole shift is a physical one where the crust of earth will literally move/slide over the molten core. This although violent is very unlikely since you would need something big enough to interfere with earths gravitational pull like a large rogue planet, and so far science has found no evidence of that happening yet.
