When electrons drift from lower to higher potential, does it means that all the free electron of the metal are moving in the same direction?

No because some electrons have different potential .

When electron drift in a metal from lower to higher potential all the free electrons of the metal do not move in the same direction. When electric field is applied, the net drift of the electrons is from lower to higher potential.

No, all the free electrons do not move in the same direction. The net movement of the electron is from the lower to the higher potential. Some electrons may move in higher potential to lower potential, may not move or may move in any other direction and although all electrons do not flow in the same direction, a large fraction of the electrons flows from the lower potential to the higher potential. There is a very small fraction of electrons that do not flow in that direction. Hence the net movement will always be from lower potential to the higher potential.
