I've created some time ago a repository with many files in it but without any structure like folder 'root' and folder 'tags' and so on. Now I would like to create folder 'root' and put my current work in there, and than create a branch called tagv23 in folder 'tags'. I've created in TortoiseSVN in repo-browser folders root and tags. How to move my all other folders and files to folder 'root' that it will work?

Check out section 5.14.2. Moving files and folders (or check out "move" in the Index of the help) of the TortoiseSVN help. You do a move via right-dragging. It also mentions that you need to commit from the parent folder to make it "one" revision. This works for doing the change in a working copy.
(Note that the SVN items in the following image will only show up if the destination folder has already been added to the repository.)
You can also do the move via the Repo Browser (section 5.23. The Repository Browser of the help).
To move a file or set of files using Tortoise SVN, right-click-and-drag the target files to their destination and release the right mouse button. The popup menu will have a SVN move versioned files here option.
Note that the destination folder must have already been added to the repository for the SVN move versioned files here option to appear.

Just move the files using drag and drop, when browsing the repository.
