Then how did all these changes occur? Do continents move?
Yes.
Earth's Crust floats on the hot, molten layer called Magma.
This crust is broken into pieces (plates) n they too move. This movement is called as 'Plate Tectonics'.
This movement causes shift in continents.

Due to movement of these Tectonic Plates over Millions of years, the single island mass broke apart n new continents were created.
