Here is the code which reads images from one folder. but I want to read images from multiple sub-folders. I am new to MATLAB, kindly help me by editing my code

myDir = 'Training\0\';
dd = dir([myDir '*.jpg']);
%%Initilizing the variable for fast loading
trainSet = uint8(zeros(48*48,length(dd)));
for i=1:length(dd)
    %%reading the  images
    img = imread([myDir dd(1).name]);
    %%now storing it into one variable
    trainSet(:,i) = img(:);
end

You removed some code. If you try to merge code, you need to make sure to understand what the code is doing. Your pre-allocation is now inside a loop, which is never good idea.

% Define a starting folder.
start_path = 'C:\Users\saeeda\Desktop\Training';
% Ask user to confirm or change.
topLevelFolder = start_path;
if topLevelFolder == 0
    return;
end
% Get list of all subfolders.
allSubFolders = genpath(topLevelFolder);
% Parse into a cell array.
remain = allSubFolders;
listOfFolderNames = {};
while true
    [singleSubFolder, remain] = strtok(remain, ';');%#ok (suppres m-lint warning)
    if isempty(singleSubFolder)
        break;
    end
    listOfFolderNames = [listOfFolderNames singleSubFolder];%#ok (suppres m-lint warning)
end
numberOfFolders = length(listOfFolderNames);
totalFileList={};%this will contain all file names of jpg files
% Process all image files in those folders.
for k = 1 : numberOfFolders
    % Get this folder and print it out.
    thisFolder = listOfFolderNames{k};
    %fprintf('Processing folder %s\n', thisFolder);
      % Get JPG files.
      filePattern = sprintf('%s/*.jpg', thisFolder);
      baseFileNames = dir(filePattern);
      numberOfImageFiles = length(baseFileNames);
      % Now we have a list of all files in this folder.
      if numberOfImageFiles >= 1
          % Go through all those image files.
          for f = 1 : numberOfImageFiles
              fullFileName = fullfile(thisFolder, baseFileNames(f).name);
              totalFileList{end+1}=fullFileName;%#ok (suppres m-lint warning)
              %fprintf('     Processing image file %s\n', fullFileName);
          end
      else
          %fprintf('     Folder %s has no image files in it.\n', thisFolder);
      end
  end

Conversion to uint8 from cell is not possible.
Error in programm (line 47)

Image analyst has written a function that can do this, see this answer and its attachment.

These are really minimal edits. You really should be able to do this yourself, especially with code that has this many comment explaining what it is doing.

% Define a starting folder.
start_path = 'Training\';
% Ask user to confirm or change.
topLevelFolder = start_path;
if topLevelFolder == 0
  return;
end
% Get list of all subfolders.
allSubFolders = genpath(topLevelFolder);
% Parse into a cell array.
remain = allSubFolders;
listOfFolderNames = {};
while true
  [singleSubFolder, remain] = strtok(remain, ';');%#ok (suppres m-lint warning)
  if isempty(singleSubFolder)
    break;
  end
  listOfFolderNames = [listOfFolderNames singleSubFolder];%#ok (suppres m-lint warning)
end
numberOfFolders = length(listOfFolderNames);
totalFileList={};%this will contain all file names of jpg files
% Process all image files in those folders.
for k = 1 : numberOfFolders
  % Get this folder and print it out.
  thisFolder = listOfFolderNames{k};
  %fprintf('Processing folder %s\n', thisFolder);
  
  % Get JPG files.
  filePattern = sprintf('%s/*.jpg', thisFolder);
  baseFileNames = dir(filePattern);
  numberOfImageFiles = length(baseFileNames);
  % Now we have a list of all files in this folder.
  
  if numberOfImageFiles >= 1
    % Go through all those image files.
    for f = 1 : numberOfImageFiles
      fullFileName = fullfile(thisFolder, baseFileNames(f).name);
            totalFileList{end+1}=fullFileName;%#ok (suppres m-lint warning)
      %fprintf('     Processing image file %s\n', fullFileName);
    end
  else
    %fprintf('     Folder %s has no image files in it.\n', thisFolder);
  end
end
