When you run a script, it executes in a subshell. That subshell has its own environment space, so things like $PWD (or any set variable) will be lost. To paraphrase: "What happens in a subshell stays in a subshell."
Therefore, you canot use a script to change the current working directory of your login shell. You could define an alias, or a function, which would run in the current shell. But the script can't do it.
