There are several programs that will do what you want.  For example, the
PKZIP/PKUNZIP pair can be used to archive a tree starting at some arbitrary
branch or is it root since it archives all the twigs or root hairs above
or below the starting point.  PKZIP is used to create the archive--the
switches are documented in the help screen--and it will remove the files
and directories that are archived.  Move to the desired directory and use
PKUNZIP to restore the files and directory structure in the new location.

Another program I ran accross years ago was a program called Directory
Maintainer which among its attributes was that it would work on a Tandy 2000
as well as an IBM PC.  As I recall, you could mark all the files in a dir-
ectory and then move them to another directory.  If the directory did not
exist it would create the directory when requested.  The only restriction
that I recall was that only the last directory in the target path could be
non-existent.
