I want to move our current website from xyz.com to oldsite.xyz.com, so that I can stick a "coming soon" page in it's place.

The old site runs on Drupal, which I know nothing about. Am I right in thinking that I need to do the following:

log in to cPanel (which I've never used before)
manually create a new folder called 'oldsite'
move everything from 'www' folder to 'oldsite' folder
put the new html file in 'www'
add DNS entry for 'oldsite' subdomain

Should I do anything else?
Will internal links still work?
What are we supposed to do with the public_html folder?

This will vary depending on the Cpanel License, if its not a WHM unlimited license then these are the steps you need to take:

Login to Cpanel
Click sub domains under category 'domains'
Add a sub domain oldsite with root of /oldsite/
Copy all /public_html/ or www depending on how cpanel was setup to oldsite
If the domain already has the name servers set to that of the cpanel hosting then there's no additional steps, if you use the registrar name servers and manually point to @ records then you need to add the ARecord of oldsite to point to the Cpanel IP Address.
