How to Write a Test Class for SOQL and Account Field Update?

Hello, I've just started to learn about Apex and I'm having difficulty writing a test class for the following Apex class. 

The following Apex class has code to retrieve Account records and logic to iterate over a list of Account records and update the Description field.  I learned this Apex class through Trailhead and wanted to write a test class for it but couldn't figure out how.
public class OlderAccountsUtility {
    public static void updateOlderAccounts() {
      // Get the 5 oldest accounts
      Account[] oldAccounts = [SELECT Id, Description FROM Account ORDER BY CreatedDate ASC LIMIT 5];
      // loop through them and update the Description field
      for (Account acct : oldAccounts) {
          acct.Description = 'Heritage Account';
      }
      // save the change you made
      update oldAccounts;
    }
}
This is what I have written.  Can anyone show me how to fix this Apex test unit so it works?  Any help would be much appreciated!
@isTest
private class OlderAccountsUtilityTest {
    
    @isTest static void createAccount() {
    
    List <Account> accts = new List<Account>();
      for(integer i = 0; i<200; i++) {
         Account a = new Account(Name='testAccount'+'i');
         accts.add(a);
    }
        
   	insert accts;

    Test.StartTest();	
        
        List<Account> accList = [SELECT Id, Description FROM Account ORDER BY CreatedDate ASC LIMIT 5];
     
 		for (Account acct : accList) {
        acct.Description = 'Heritage Account';
        }

    Test.StopTest();

	System.AssertEquals(
    
    	database.countquery('SELECT COUNT() FROM Account WHERE Description' = 'Heritage Account'), 5);
             
    }
}

Hi, Vinod! Thanks a lot for your swift reply!  I tried and got the following errors.  These errors are over my head...  Perhaps you will have some clues?
