I think the problem is in SECRET KEY, but in all files it is indicated.
What other data is needed to make it easier for you to give an answer?
I added Wagtail CMS after creating a standard web application. However, collectstatic, makemigrations and migrate did not return any errors

Your django settings.py file has no SECRET_KEY. You may have to define this as an environment variable or explicitly in your code depending on how your settings.py is written.
As per your wsgi.py file, it is referring to myshop/settings/dev.py. Make sure the SECRET_KEY is in that settings file, or when running gunicorn (or whatever you use to deploy the server) that you set the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE to the actual settings file with the SECRET_KEY
