See:

http://drupal.org/upgrade/tutorial-introduction
http://drupal.org/videocasts/upgrading-to-6
The UPGRADE.txt file included in the Drupal 6 tar.gz package.

Before starting, make sure that all your additional contributed modules and themes have Drupal 6 versions, because you will need to replace them.

I try do it .
but :
when I open http://localhost:88/projects/drupal5to6/?q=admin/build/modules
sytem say:

Watchdog 5.15 Logs and records system events.
This version is incompatible with the 6.9 version of Drupal core.

How can I fix it . Can I delete folder modules/watchdog ?

Yes. The modules/watchdog folder does not exist in Drupal 6.

You should have deleted all Drupal 5 files before uploading the Drupal 6 files. You can't just overwrite them because they are not the same.

Or, you could have uploaded Drupal 6 in a new empty folder to do the upgrade there.

I edit watchdog.info:

version = "5.15"=> version = "6.9"

but the error same as before ( This version is incompatible with the 6.9 version of Drupal core. )

Of course it is incompatible. It is a Drupal 5 module. There is no watchdog module in Drupal 6.
