attempting to move folder from C directory to folder in WSL directory

$

I am making a website for my online book/media business and I have some photos in my C directory (cover photos) that I would like to copy and move into my directory in VSC via WSL. The file is stored in /mnt/c/Users/etc/Downloads. As I would still need to have this folder in C I probably would just need to copy the contents of the folder and move it to an already made directory in my WSL project. I have tried to make a directory in my WSL project via WSL with mkdir and then copy the contents of the file when I am on the path /mnt/c via cp. I have tried to them move it into the folder in WSL with mv but it has not worked. I have been at this for over a week now with no success. I have tried to find youtube videos on it and I have tried to get books on git from the library. Either the really good books are checked out or the books I have do not address this issue.So, for example, I would make a directory in my current VSC project via WSL with mkdir bookphotos. Then I would use the terminal to go to the mnt/c/Users/ path until I found my folder with my cover photos. I would then try to copy that folder with cp and move it to the wsl directory. It has not worked. Some help would be appreciated. Thank you.
