  If you select all keyframes and option-drag the last one, they will all move in proportion with each other.

  Umm, I don’t have AE open at the moment, you’d better check the modifier key before committing anything you can’t undo. Before you start, save a copy of your project!

  Moving the keyframes to perform a 6-to-1 temporal compression is not a magic trick, it’s lame. None of your ballistics will be natural and none of your timing will make any sense but I suppose that’s your director’s problem. Why don’t you just precompose the whole thing and do a speed change? This will demonstrate how terrible things are likely to look.
