The answer is to use "with replacing".
I cleaned up the code a bit to make it somewhat less verbose. I'm
not sure why you included "whose class is folder", so I left it
alone. I don't know of any folder whose class is not folder,
though. An application bundle's class is application file, if that's
what you were concerned about.
tell application "Finder"
if not (folder "Old Desktop" of home exists) then
set oldDT to make new folder at home with properties {name:"Old
Desktop"}
else
set oldDT to folder "Old Desktop" of home
end if
move files of the desktop to oldDT with replacing
move (folders of the desktop whose class is folder) to oldDT with
replacing
end tell
