Because all Cases that were created before this trigger was deployed probably have a null value for "Last_Status_Change__c", so the when trigger reaches the line " (oldCase.Status!=updatedCase.Status && updatedCase.Last_Status_Change__c!=null)" it will not pass the condition and none of the contained code will be executed.

 

The simplest thing to do might be to set up a workflow rule to, whenever on a Case status change, check to see the if Last_Status_Change__c is null. If it is, then set it to System.now()
