How would you think that a pole shift would effect the moon?
Surely for the poles to shift the speed of rotation of the earth would change.
Would the moon get closer if the speed of rotation of the earth slowed down?

The pole shift has absolutely nothing to do with the rotation of the Earth... it is the MAGNETIC FIELD that is changing...
The North Pole and the North MAGNETIC pole that compasses point to are NOT the same...
When the poles flip, as they have done many times in the past, all compasses will now point SOUTH but the EARTH is not going to move..
The Sun flips its poles every 11 years like clockwork... Bet you never noticed a thing...
