You don't need to migrate

You don't need to migrate your site contents from Drupal 5 to 6. Follow the video screencast on upgrading. At the final stage after you have copied the new files over to your existing installed site, you run the update.php script which should be URL: http://{my_domain_name.com}/update.php.

Replace {my_domain_name} with the name of your site. The update.php script should take care of upgrading the DB which stores all your site contents.
