Very simple steps i found my self as below:

1. Press Ctrl+` (or View > Terminal in menu) to open a new terminal pane.

2. Click terminal selection dropdown and click 'Select Default Shell'.

3. Choose terminal type Command Prompt or PowerShell

4. Now Delete current opened terminal or open new terminal.

Now, Command Prompt will be your default shell in VSCode.
