Hi

So you need to move to the last version and you get the chills because it is such a huge jump in versions.
Worry no more it is quite simple!!!!!!
Just make regular backup of you VMs

Using ssh for instance with Filezilla, copy the backup files (just need the last backup of each) to your local disk (keep that copy just in case) and using Filezilla again copy them to the 6.4 server. The folder where it stores the backups is by default /var/lib/vz/dump

You'll need to recreate the VMs with the same VM ID

Then go to the backup tab and restore the backup file

When the first dialog appears make sure you choose the new storage area or you won't be able to restore

After restoring you should make some changes in the network card and choose "disconnected". Make sure the correct card is selected and save.
Test your VM now, it should be working flawlessly
