Shift not creating shadow?

Your picture shows that the round circular thing is the “shadow” ?

Exactly, yes.
There was a question couple of days ago about shadow mechanics. If you are interested you can read through it here:

Where can I find 'Shadows'?

-I searched for this already I dont know where to look. Where, specifically can I spec to get shadows. I must be missing something. I am level 26, and I found a piece of gear that is lvl 14 and it has “37 Ward when you create a shadow”. Could I really had shadows at lvl 14? I’m using cinder strike, smokebomb and decoy as my 3 levelable skills

tldr: There are couple of skills like Shurikens, Acid Flask or Shadow Cascade that the Shadows can interact with, once they got spawned by one of your attacks like Shift or Smoke Bomb.
