I'm trying to think of why this isn't working for you:

A set is a folder. You can't drag a set (folder) into another set
An action is inside of a set.
Steps are inside of an action. You can drag a step into another action, but not directly into the folder (set) itself
Option+drag will copy

Try this:

Create a new set (folder) and name it
Try dragging (or option+drag) one of the actions from the Default set into your new set.

@jane-e You solved it. I thought these were individual actions but they were set up a their own set. I had to open that set and then I could drag the individual actions. I am just getting back into PS from a long absense and didn't understand the icon. Thanks.
