At first sight you used the wrong model in your form: it should be:

from myapp.models import CustomUser
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserChangeForm

class CustomUserChangeForm(UserChangeForm):
    email = forms.EmailField(required=True, label='Email')
    phone = forms.CharField(label='Phone number')

    class Meta:
        model = CustomUser
        fields = ('username', 'email', 'phone', )

That being said, since your CustomerUserChangeForm does not have any fields to change passwords or permissions, you can use a simple ModelForm [Django-doc]:

from django.forms import ModelForm
from myapp.models import CustomUser

class CustomUserChangeForm(ModelForm):
    email = forms.EmailField(required=True, label='Email')
    phone = forms.CharField(label='Phone number')

    class Meta:
        model = CustomUser
        fields = ('username', 'email', 'phone', )
