I keep getting a kick back that says this:

Any ideas? I'm using ArcMap 10.1

The errors you are encountering are a direct result of not inputting the correct number of parameters into the tool you are calling. Create Feature Dataset requires both out_dataset_path and out_name.
In addition to this there are some other issues with your code.
The help documentation for the Feature Class to Geodatabase tool states:
You are attempting to input a feature dataset. Since you're choosing to loop through your feature classes I would think the input to this process would be a feature class.
Try this modified version of your code where a feature class in used in place of the feature dataset.
Pending the rest of your code is correct this will loop through each feature class inside of each feature dataset and add it to your geodatabase.
