A phase change does NOT chance the total number of molecules.

There will be some evaporation and sublimation too. During the time that ice melts there will some molecules that sublimate to water vapor and also some water molecules evaporate to vapor. But the total mass and number of molecules will not change.

What is the amount of energy can change a solid phase to a liquid phase?

The amount of energy required to change a solid phase to a liquid phase is known as the heat of fusion. It is the amount of heat energy needed to overcome the intermolecular forces holding the solid molecules together and allow them to transition into a liquid state. This energy varies depending on the substance and is usually expressed in joules per gram (J/g).
