You can not include code in a javascript tag with a "src" attribute. So move the loose javascript in a new tag.

<script type="text/javascript" src="profile/test.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
    s('shiva');
</script>

I changed but the paragraph value haven't changed

You need to put text inside quotes '' or "" like 'shiva' or "shiva". Do you have your inspection tool from your browser open? That would tell you about errors like "Uncaught ReferenceError: shiva is not defined"
