In reported speech, if the verb in direct speech is in the simple present negative ("isn't"), it changes to the simple past negative ("wasn't").
В косвенной речи, если глагол в прямой речи стоит в настоящем простом времени отрицательной формы («isn’t»), он изменяется на прошедшее простое время отрицательной формы («wasn’t»).
