squatting shouldn't have anything to do with your shin, unless you're doing it wrong

see if it stops and then starts once you squat again

Full squats with feet close together will work the tibialis anterior (Which I believe is the muscle in your shin that you are referring to.) It's probably not used to being worked, and the twitching is temporary. I used to twitch in many places when I started hitting it hard. It should stop in time.

If you are having muscle spasms you need to increase your intake of potassium and other electrolytes.
