Is there any easy way to change Arduino Wifi shield to ESP8266?
Consider porting your sketch to esp8266 board like Wemos D1. The API of the ESP8266WiFi library is same as the API of the WiFi library.

To use esp8266 as network adapter, you have two wiring options.

If you have or buy an esp8266 module with SPI pins, you can connect the esp8266 over SPI like the WiFi shield is connected. Then you upload the WiFiSpiESP firmware to esp8266 and you include in your sketch WiFiSpi library instead of WiFi library. 

Second option is to connect esp8266 over Serial or SoftwareSerial. The esp8266 should have AT firmware installed. The you can include WiFiEsp library in you sketch and initialize it with the Serial interface of your choice. You can find the WiFiEsp library in Library manager. Most new esp8266 modules have AT firmware installed at default.

There is one more option for Serial connection, if WiFiEsp wouldn't work for you. WiFiLink firmware and library

All mentioned libraries WiFiSpi, WiFiEsp and WiFiLink have the same API as the WiFi library so the rest of the code should work without changes.
