Try this

(lambda () (interactive)
   (switch-to-buffer-other-window nil)
   (shell))

The point is that in your code, (shell) is evaluated (making a new
buffer, which gets displayed in the current window) and then
switch-to-buffer-other-window says to display that buffer in a different
window too.
