Does something is in flux mean something is changing?
Thank you!

Yes :) That is what it means.
"Flux" implies rapid change. It is not a verb, however. It is a state of being - a noun. Thus, something "is in flux" if it is changing.
"Fluctuate" is a verb closely associated with flux. It means to change rapidly.
The economy is in flux.
The piston fluctuates as the engine runs.

In a state of constant change.
"The state of the euro has been in flux for the past few months."
"In flux" is constant, large change - not just a single, or short change.
