In Java it's Thread.sleep(500); with capital letter.

Edit

Date_Time is your class. If you want to print the date you need to use Date library

Date d = new Date();
System.out.print(d);

@ShakhKhan The import is not the point. You need to use `Date`, not your own class. – Guy Jan 30 '16 at 11:03
thanks a lot brother :) – Shakh Khan Jan 30 '16 at 11:12

d is a class, so if you print a class you will get the tostring representation of it, so modify the class,(override the toString method and return what you need to from it)

import java.util.Date;
class Date_Time{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {
        while(true){
            Date_Time d= new Date_Time();
            System.out.print(new Date());
            thread.sleep(500);
            System.out.println("\r");
            thread.sleep(500);
        }
    }
}

could not find symbol thread.sleep
