How can I move the whole folder of _vim into ~/.vim?
$ mv ~/.vim/_vim/ ~/.vim
mv: `/home/kithokit/.vim/_vim/' and `/home/kithokit/.vim/_vim' are the same file
I cannot do that.
Basically what I want to do is just move all the contents inside _vim folder up to one level, which is in ~/.vim/

You need to use the mv command that moves one or more files or directories from one place to another. You must have have write permission for the directories which the file will move between. The syntax is as follows to move /home/apache2/www/html directory up one level at /home/apache2/www/ directory.
To go up one level of the directory tree, type the following: cd .. The special file name, dot dot ( .. ), refers to the directory immediately above the current directory, its parent directory.
After you have selected each file (Figure 2), you can either right-click one of the selected files and then choose the Move To option, or just drag and drop them into a new location. The selected files (in this case, folders) will each be highlighted. Moving files on the Linux desktop is incredibly easy.
mv ~/.vim/_vim/* ~/.vim
Bash expands the * such the command now reads
mv ~/.vim/_vim/file_1 ... ~/.vim/_vim/file_n ~/.vim
