You can

1. create a new private repository on github,
2. then clone your current repository on github to your local machine,
3. then add that new repository to one of the remote of the clone,
4. and finally push it to the new repository.

For example, let say your current repository is git@github.com:me/current.git and the new one is git@github.com:me/new.git.

$ git clone git@github.com:me/current.git local-copy
$ cd local-copy
$ git remote add new-repo git@github.com:me/new.git
$ git push new-repo master
