Morphology
The phrase is compositionally built from 'shitty' (an informal/slang adjective meaning very bad or poor) + 'day' (a period), so a learner who knows both words can readily infer 'a very bad or unpleasant day.' The only caveat is register: the adjective is coarse/informal, but this does not block compositional understanding.
Etymology
Shitty day uses shitty, a rude form of the word 'shit' that means something dirty and unpleasant, to describe a day. That's why it means 'a very bad day'.
