find . -name "*display" -exec ux2dos {} > {}.txt \;
your problem arose from your redirection (>) target: output got redirected to *.txt which extends to a list of all .txt files in directory -> multiple targets -> shell got confused (and would probably not have acted properly if *.txt would extend to just one file)
(no need to escape using '' on modern systems)
