Corrected entry: When Thorin stands up to Azog, with the dramatic march down the half fallen, half burning tree, he has his sword in one hand and the other is empty, all he has on his arm is his usual leather grieve. After the shot changes and he's facing Azog's wolf, he has the oaken branch on his arm (with identifying metal additions), the one he used in the battle at Moria and from which he earned his name. He didn't have time to go and get it, nor did he have a pack or bag in which to carry it, seeing as how they were in a life and death run from the Goblin cave immediately prior to this.

Correction: Actually, if you look closely you can see that in the shot where Thorin has first stood up with his sword in his right hand, he already has the shield on his left arm. Also, earlier in the movie you can see Thorin keeps the shield hung on his back (low, beside his left hip) so there's no reason he couldn't still have it when he faces Azog.
