I think you mean something like this:

======================================================
#!/bin/sh

### Initialization
old_word="$1"
new_word="$2"

### error checking
test $# -eq 2 || { echo Usage: "% $0" oldWord newWord ; exit 1 ; }

### Main
/bin/ls | while read file
do  test -f $file || continue
    sed s/$1/$2/g  $file > ${file}.new
    mv ${file}.new ${file}
done
======================================================
