No, actually sudo can run any command even if it doesn't require
super-user privileges.  The error message is the result of "sudo" not
finding an executable with the name "cd" (which is true and okay because
"cd" is a bash built-in).

Your advice is correct, Sara doesn't need sudo to run "cd".
By the way Sara, do you mean to run "cd /home/sara/Desktop"? As there is
no directory called /home/desktop (unless you created one yourself with
sudo or you have a user named desktop on your system).  An easier way to
go to the Desktop directory is to run "cd ~/Desktop" ("~" is always
substituted for the home directory of the user that issued the command,
$HOME is also the same as "~").

If you need any help or explanations just ask, we'll be glad to help.
Ziyad.
