Many Christians keep Sabbath on Sunday the first day of the week.

The Jewish Sabbath starts Friday at sundown and ends Saturday at sundown, the 7th day of the week.

Another View:

The majority of Christians observe Sunday, the first day of the week, and may refer to it as 'Sabbath' designating it as a day of rest. Many point to the resurrection of Jesus for the reason for this change from the Biblical Sabbath, the seventh day of the week.

The Biblical Sabbath is Saturday, the seventh-day of the week. Jews and over 18 million Christians observe this day. They observe it according to the Biblical commandment from sundown Friday to Saturday at sundown. In over 140 different languages the seventh-day of the week, which we call Saturday, uses the term translated 'Sabbath' or 'rest".

How did Sunday end up on the sabbath day?

The Jewish Sabbath was Saturday, however the Sabbath began Friday with sundown and ended Saturday with sundown.

Thus for Catholics "Sunday" (the Sabbath) technically begins on Saturday evening with sundown, and ends Sunday with sundown.

Why did Jesus change the sabbath day from 1st to 2nd?

He didn't. Firstly, you've got the numbers wrong: the Jews celebrate the Sabbath day on the seventh day of the week, which is Saturday. Christians instead meet on Sunday, which is the first day of the week. Jesus didn't change the "Sabbath", his followers did... and not immediately; the ones among them who had been Jews kept observing the Sabbath, but they also met on "the Lord's day", Sunday, because that was the day on which Jesus rose from the dead. It wasn't until there were a substantial number of non-Jewish Christians (who had no tradition of observing the Sabbath at all) that Sunday became predominant.
