My W2 is changed but has not been received. I want to report on 1040ES the changed W2. Can I file taxes while waiting for W2 change?

If your W-2 was corrected, it is best to wait until you receive it before filing your tax return. Can you ask your employer for a copy of the corrected W-2?
If you have not received the corrected W-2, the IRS offers guidance in this article:
If you don’t get a W-2 or your W-2 is wrong
When you say that you want to report the corrected W-2 on Form 1040-ES, I assume you mean Form 1040 instead. Here is the difference between Form 1040 and Form 1040-ES:
Form 1040 is used to file your tax return for a specific tax year. It's how you report your total income, claim deductions and credits, and figure your final tax liability. Any W-2s you receive would be reported on Form 1040.
Form 1040-ES is used to calculate and make quarterly estimated tax payments. A W-2 would not be reported on Form 1040-ES.
Here is an article that discusses Form 1040-ES in greater detail:
