Self-dual codes (Type I and Type II codes) play an important role in the construction of even unimodular lattices, and hence in the determination of Jacobi forms. In this paper, we construct both Type I and Type II codes (of higher lengths) over the ring $\mathbb{ Z}_{ 2^m}$ of integers modulo $2^m$ from shadows of Type I codes of length $n$ over $\mathbb{ Z}_{ 2^m}$ for each positive integer $n;$ and obtain their complete weight enumerators. Using these results, we also determine some Jacobi forms on the modular group $\Gamma(1) = SL(2; \mathbb{ Z}).$ Besides this, for each positive integer $n$; we also construct self-dual codes (of higher lengths) over $\mathbb{ Z}_{ 2^m}$ from the generalized shadow of a self-dual code $\mathcal{ C}$ of length $n$ over $\mathbb{ Z}_{ 2^m}$ with respect to a vector $s\in \mathbb{ Z}_{ 2^m}^n\setminus \mathcal{ C}$ satisfying either $s\cdot s \equiv 0 (mod 2^m)$ or $s\cdot s \equiv 2^{ m-1} (mod 2^m).$
