Replace Filename and text inside of directory

I have a directory that has directories that contain Dir-20111114-xyz and I want to change them to Dir-20111121-xyz.

Inside of Dir-20111114-xyz, I have a config.xml file that also contains the date that I need changed from 20111114 to 20111121

I have used sed to replace inside of file not sure how to handle renaming the directories.

Thank you.
