• Class names begin with capital letters i.e Help
• Swing components should be created and modified on Event Dispatch Thread

• A new Thread is created like this:

  Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable() {
      @Override
      public void run() {
          //work here
      }
  });
  t.start();//start thread
  

however I'd suggest a Swing Timer as it runs on EDT:

EDIT:

As per your questions I suggest using a Timer the creating thread point was for general knowledge.

The probelm is the Thread is not run on EDT Thread of your swing GUI where as a Timer does:

 int delay = 1000; //milliseconds
  ActionListener taskPerformer = new ActionListener() {
      int count=0;
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
           if(count==10) {//we did the task 10 times
                 ((Timer)evt.getSource()).stop();
            }

            label.setLocation((label.getLocationOnScreen().x+10), label.getLocationOnScreen().y);
            System.out.println(SwingUtilities.isEventDispatchThread());
           count++;
      }
  };
  new Timer(delay, taskPerformer).start();
