...I had to cut and paste the second floor into Revit? How do I move the second floor so it's higher? And in general how do I move 3d models JUST vertically? Any help is appreciated.

Not sure what you are doing.
You can control levels from an elevation or section view by dimension from level to level or by just moving the level line.

I want to put the 3d model to the right (second floor) on top of the left model (first floor). Please help, my office doesn't know how to either!

Revit doesn't work the way you are trying. The model is built "in-place". You build the second floor from the second floor plan over top of the first floor.
Are thses two seperate Revit models or one model? If so, you can copy to clipboard all the second floor items, switch to the second floor plan with the first floor as an underlay and paste these elements where they belong on the second floor.

I cut and pasted the second floor into the first floor's project. How can I make it so the level has a lower or higher offset?

If you are curious, the building is a two story school.

As I responded earlier:

You need to do some tutorials on Revit basics.

You need to correctly set up your levels (this should be done when the project is started) so that you can associate families, walls, etc to levels and not just put top and bottom offsents to everything. As WWHub stated I think you need to review some tutorials and spend some time with your HELP menu on Levels.

Since the second floor is alraedy drawn go to a 3D view and window the entire floor that you want to move, hit ctrl+c to copy to the clip board, then on the modify tab click Paste, aligned to selected level and pick your Second Floor level. Then in a 3D view again select everything, hit ctrl+tab to get back to your second floor plan and move the objects over the first floor.
