In humanoid form - change physical appearance to another humanoid, change into an Beast using Wild Shape In Wild Shape - change into a different beast using another use of Wild Shape, transform back into a humanoid (ending the Wild Shape)
Actually asking a question or explaining what you are unsure about might help. But I don't know of any specific issues that would come from that combo, it should work just as well as any other.
I have been trying to make a changeling druid. My dmd and I are trying to figure out what it can or can't do
Can you be more specific about what you're looking for?
Both the Changeling species and the Druid class offer some shape-changing abilities, but they are distinctly different in quite a few ways. What questions do you have about them?
Can the abilities be combined? I mainly want to shape-shifting and fight. What would be a good sub class? I was thinking warden? I have never played a character with spells. What would be some good ones for what I want to do?

No, the abilities cannot be combined. When you use Wild Shape, you lose access to features granted by your species. Warden isn't a Druid subclass, so I'm not sure what you mean there.

Moon Druid is the shape-shifting focused druid subclass, Warden is your best 1st level choice if you want to be more fight-y rather than spell-casting.
If you want to shapeshift and fight then you will be limited to the special list of spells that can be cast while in wildshape found in the Moon Druid subclass features. You'll also want to save lots of your spellslots to use to get more uses of Wild Shape in order to keep a steady stream of temporary hit points to keep you alive while in Beast form. Beside those two options, mostly you'd be using spells outside of combat - spells like Enhance Ability, Charm Person, Jump, Aid, Detect Magic, Dispel Magic, Goodberry, Pass without Trace, and Speak with Animals.
That's assuming you want to shapeshift as an animal and fight. Note that once you shapeshift into an animal you lose your species abilities so you cannot use your changeling shapeshifting while an animal.
If you want to be a humanoid and fight then you'll want Spore Druid.

They got confused, Warden is one of the choices of the Primal Order Druid Feature at level 1. It grants Medium Armor and Martial weapon proficiency. I would say Warden is better than Magician for a Circle of the Moon Druid due to how spellcasting works while wild shaped and that having more protection for if you're knocked out of wild shape is always preferable.
