Ok... download the 5.x version of every module I have, put them all in the modules directory... and same for themes?
Just to clarify, when you do this you will want to wipe out your entire filesystem from 4.7, with the exceptions of
/files (where your file uploads live [possibly, unless you're using a different folder] /sites (which contains a folder where your settings.php file will reside)
For your new contrib modules and themes -- all modules and themes that are not core -- you should upload them into
/sites/all/modules and /sites/all/themes
...so that their folders are in the appropriate folder above. This way your core modules live in /modules but your custom and contrib modules and themes live within the /sites folder hierarchy.
Other than that, the step-by-step should be in the text files that come with the Drupal 5.2 download. More info is on drupal.org.
Step 0 that Larry mentioned -- that is ESSENTIAL! If by some chance it all goes wrong, you will need that database backup to get back to the starting point.
Good luck! For specific, more timely questions you might want to check in on irc at #drupal-support
