I completed working on a new-website on a subdomain of the old site. But then my boss asked me to link this new site to the old-website.
I figured out that it can simple be achieved by making sub-directory in old-websites folder.
but the problem is right now I have url as - http://www.new-site.old-site.com
and I want it to be as - http://www.old-site.com/new-site after I move it to sub-directory in the old-websites folder.
How to do that, in a way that whenever user clicks on the link of 'new-site' in my old-site menu, then the user is directed to the Home of 'new-site' where am fetching the latest blog posts of the 'new-site'.
Thanks in advance.

Basically this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_Multisite
Once that's done, you'll want to set up a .htaccess redirect like this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.new-site\.old-site.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.old-site.com/new-site/$1 [L,R=301]
Put it in the .htaccess at the root of http://www.old-site.com
@Ipstenu, Thanks for the reply.
But meanwhile I did something easier but lengthy.
I copied DB of my new-site (www.new-site.old-site.com) and then renamed it. Then I copied all the stuff from that directory to the root directory of my old site. and then copied the DB (with the replacements in SQL as new-site.old-site.com -> oldsite.com/newsite) to that new folder I created.
:) it worked.
You're very lucky. I don't suggest a search/replace of SQL like that for Multisite.
