As others already mentioned, you can create a new branch by using

svn copy existing_branch_url new_branch_url

What I'd like to add is that you can then just point your working copy to this new branch with

svn switch new_branch_url

and then

svn commit

As Jonas has already mentioned, You need to copy your existing branch in SVN and create a new one.

svn copy old_url new_url -m "Your commit message"

Checkout the code from this branch. Merge all your local changes to this newly checked out branch and commit.

In svn a branch is just a copy operation so just use

svn copy ORIG_URL DEST_URL -m "Message about this new branch"

where ORIG_URL and DEST_URL are remote urls.

In svn the copy is done in the server and it will create a new revision.

If your context allows, switch to git it is much more flexible handling branches.
