I moved my VMs to a different hard-drive and was trying to change their UUIDs. When I put in the command, I get the error mentioned in the title. I have attached an image of it.
What's the remedy for this?

You didn't give the UUID as a paramter, you only gave the filename.
UUID looks like this : 30740f89-b026-466f-9b78-9cd8000e0f0d

The error message was because you didn't wrap the filename in quotes "like so" - which you must do if it contains spaces. Otherwise the command line parser sees the text after the first space (7.vdi) as being a separate argument, which it expects to be the optional parameter, i.e. the UUID that you want to give to the VDI. Since that UUID argument is incorrectly formatted, you get the error message.
