    This thread on SO might help if you are determined to do it programmatically;

    Copy and Paste Category in Magento

    I have to say, for only 58 products I would just spend 10 minutes and do it in the admin interface personally. For completeness here’s how that’s done;

    You’d go into Catalogue->Manage Categories and then click on your root category to edit it. The go into the Category Products tab and hit the ‘Reset Filter’ button to display all the products. Select the ones you want and then Save the Category and delete the sub category.
