Hi. I presume it is a Shape Layer. Twirl open the layer - Contents/Path1/Path. Set a Path Keyframe, move ahead until you want the new shape. Select "Path 1" heading only (not Path) and drag your centre point upward.

This is very basic After Effects.As a beginner I'd suggest that you do some basic's tutorials or you will drive yourself crazy - AE is not an intuitive program.

Maybe this quick tutorial I produced about 3 years ago will help:

The editing procedure for a shape layer is identical. Use the Pen tool (g) and the Alt/Option and Ctrl/Cmnd modifier keys. The only thing different is that there is no keyboard shortcut to set the first keyframe for a shape layer path. You have to do that by clicking on the stopwatch for the path you want to animate.
