Hi there,
You home page and certain other main pages (such as about) may change, as well as menus and custom CSS. I would recommend copying any content on these pages before changing your theme.
You will find the old pages in the Drafts by going to My Site > Site > Pages > Drafts. You’ll need to republish these by selecting them, and clicking ‘Publish’ in the top right-hand corner. https://wordpress.com/pages/drafts
https://wordpress.com/support/editors/post-and-page-screen/
You can also delete the new theme’s page templates by going to My Site > Site > Pages, finding the template, clicking the three dots and selecting Bin. https://wordpress.com/pages

You may need to do some editing in the Customiser, especially of menus and any CSS. You can do this by going to My Site > Design > Customise. https://wordpress.com/customize/

Think of your theme like the clothes you wear. It doesn’t change the content underneath, it just changes how it looks.
Changing your theme is very safe, some folks around here even do it monthly. :)
