Ok the following line finds all the files that I want to move out the folder:
find ./ -type f ! -mtime -2 -exec ls -al {} \;
So, now it's the next part that scares me.
Should I do this?
find ./ -type f ! -mtime -2 -exec ls -al {} \; | xargs mv ../
in order to move the files found in the script up one directory?

done
Read find(info), bash(1), and mv(1) for more details.
