Shift means to change something else that is near by or related. For example, you can shift the gears on a car, or shift the order of the books on the shelves.
You can use change the same way, but change has a wider meaning. The flag of Mississippi changed, but it didn't change to anything near by or related, so you can't say that it shifted.
There might be an exception to this, if you think of any that confuse you, let me know. One example that comes to mind is in music, where we say that we change chords, and not shift, even though they are related. Some contexts have specific words that are preferred and there's not necessarily any logic behind it.
