How does the November 2018 PH errata change the usage of multiclass spell slots to cast spell?
$begingroup$
The Player's Handbook, pg. 114, once read:
The Wizard table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher.
With the November 2018 PH errata
In the first sentence, “your spells” is now “your wizard spells.”
Now it reads
The Wizard table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your wizard spells of 1st level and higher.
The errata also apply the same change to classes and archetypes with Spellcasting class feature.
A single classed wizard won't notice the difference, but I wonder if this change means multiclassing means spell slots gained from multiclassing to cleric, for instance, cannot be used to cast wizard spells that is not in cleric spell list?
How does this errata change how multiclass spell slots work?

It doesn't
Multiclassing has its own set of rules that define what spell slots you have, and this overrides the spell slots mentioned in the wizard class section.
The errata you mention was added (I assume) to avoid you using those slots for spells gained from some other place such as a feat or racial feature.

It doesn't change anything for multiclassing
The rules for multiclassing override those if the individual classes.
Once you have the Spellcasting feature from more than one class, use the rules below. If you multiclass but have the Spellcasting feature from only one class, you follow the rules as described in that class.
So any rules that are described in the multiclassing part of these rules simply replace the ones from single class casters.
So this errata change, being a change to a section of the rules explicitly replaced by the multiclassing rules, has no effect.
Note that the multiclassing rules explicitly gives classes the ability to use slots in a shared way.
If you have more than one spellcasting class, this table might give
you spell slots of a level that is higher than the spells you know or
can prepare. You can use those slots, but only to cast your
lower-level spells.

On the multiclassing rules overriding individual classes, this is nicely supported by the contrast "Your capacity for spellcasting depends partly on your combined levels in all your spellcasting classes and partly on your individual levels in those classes. Once you have the Spellcasting feature from more than one class, use the rules below. If you multiclass but have the Spellcasting feature from only one class, you follow the rules as described in that class." (found here)
