To change the template, upload the template into the templates folder and change it in the admin section.

To edit templates you will edit the .tpl files inside the template folder

Check out Understanding Pligg Template Files. It provides a good overview of how templates work.

Check if the template files for the new template are not under another subdirectory in the new template directory. And what is your error message?
