arguments in bash

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

This script moves all the doc files to a specified directory. I have managed to put an argument but the problem I am facing is putting the full path where the scripts are moving to, for example I want to run the script like this below

./loo -d then path where im moving the files (i.e ./loo -d the second argument where files are moving to)

i want to replace $To in the existing script with the command argument after -d ...
this code is not working i dont know why....

#!/bin/bash
From="/home/elg19/lone/doc"
To=$2

if [ $1 = -d ]; then
    cd "$From"
    for i in pdf txt doc; do
      find . -type f -name "*.${i}" -exec mv "{}" "$To" \;
    done
fi
