I get this

Finder got an error: Can't get every folder whose class = folder of desktop.

Yeah, you need to rearrange. It thinks that you're asking for every folder whose class is (folder of the desktop), which isn't a valid class.

Try this:

move (every folder of desktop whose class is folder) to folder...

When I try this:

tell application "Finder"
if not (the folder "Old Desktop" of home exists) then
make new folder at home with properties {name:"Old Desktop"}
end if
move every file of the desktop to the folder "Old Desktop" of home
move (every folder whose class is folder of the desktop) to the folder "Old Desktop" of home
end tell

Ah ha, yes and I confirmed if the disks were not there (by turning off that preference is Finder) the previous script worked as well. Thanks!!!

Doesn't "every folder of the desktop" return a list with every disk showing on the desktop as well as the destination folder too?

The destination folder isn't on the Desktop; it's in the user's home directory. The disk thing looks like it's the problem, though. "every folder whose class is folder" looks redundant but works fine.
