It's not an XSLT file, it's a stylesheet written in an obsolete Microsoft
language (often called WD-xsl) that was based on an early draft of XSLT,
with Microsoft additions and deletions.

Usually if a task is urgent and the user is a novice I reckon the best
advice I can give is "don't even attempt it, you will only make a mess of
it". However this one is fairly easy. I suspect you want to change the
element names to lower-case too? That's essentially a modified identity
stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:element name="lower-case(name())" namespace="{namespace-uri()}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@*">
<xsl:attribute name="lower-case(name())" namespace="{namespace-uri()}">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
That solution uses XSLT 2.0. If for some reason you have to use XSLT 1.0,
you can replace
lower-case(X)
by
translate(X, 'ABCDE....Z', 'abcde....z')
