The sed does not find anything.
Your mistake is the 'ticks' around $dt, but the shell only expands $dt within "quotes".
Further, a /x/,/x/ range is always one line, so you can simply address it with one /x/.
Further, consider searching only at the beginning of the lines, by means of /^x/, here /^$dt/ or /^${dt}/
Further, you can save the invocation of grep.
or
Note: in bash you need to turn off history substitution with comand set +H.

I was wondering how I can modify this for loop, so it only loops through the filenames that do not have an ".old" extension.
for filename in $(ls "$1")
do
echo $filename | grep '\.old$' > /dev/null
if
then mv $1/$filename $1/$filename.old
fi

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
SEE ALSO shtool(1), sed(1).
