Well, Congress certifies the presidential election, and inaugurations are organized by a non-governmental committee appointed by the president-elect.
If the government shuts down, you can be damn sure they’ll still certify Trump’s victory, and the inauguration will go forward regardless, though it may be a bit rougher and less safe than usual. A shutdown wont help us the way you’re hoping.
Edit: here’s some info on how inaugurations are funded and organized.
Yeah the Capitol and the Mall are on Federal land, but there are always exceptions to shutdowns, so they’d find a way to get the permits in time. Republicans will be in power regardless, so there’s no way they’ll let a shutdown impact Trump’s inauguration.

Is the land it nornally happens on government land and a permit wouldn’t be issuable if the government was shut down?

Oh I didn’t think it could be stopped, but I thought maybe they’d be forced to do it elsewhere.
