I don't think they can molt or shed their skin because of the wings. The wings are just too big. Those animals that shed their skin are mostly very streamlined without bigger spikes or similar like snakes and small lizards. The lizards can also use the claws on the feet to accelerate the process but the legs are very small and don't cumber the shedding. The wings would be just in the way and hinder the shedding or molt. That would be too exhausting. And it has no limbs that could help the shedding. No, that would be too much.
