Existing time machine hd out of space. Do not want to lose old backups

Welcome to iMore!!

While I've had experience doing this, I haven't done so in awhile, so I found a support article to help you out.

Time Capsule: How To Transfer Backups From a Current Backup Drive to a New Backup Drive

While the article is very informative, I always find that if you know you're going to panic, contact Apple Support and have them walk you through it.
