After some time, the early church felt the need to distinguish themselves further from the Jews and decided that Sunday was a more appropriate time for Christians to worship because it was the day Jesus rose from the dead. Also, it made for an easier transition for the pagans the church was trying to evangelize to. Also, it should be noted that the church never claimed to change the sabbath day. The church still recognizes Saturday as the sabbath, it just chooses not to worship on that day because it is a Jewish day of worship.

Its Sunday - the sabbath day.The Sabbath day is a Saturday.

Emperor Constantine did not call Sunday the Sabbath when he decreed it to be the day of rest; it's the day of the sun god, which had many worshipers in Constantine's time.

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.
