Msg 15151, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Cannot find the object 'LANGUAGE_TYPE', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.

What are you actually trying to do with the table?

According to your comment you try to move MyTableName table from dbo to xxx...
You command try to do just the opposite.
The format of ALTER SCHEMA goes like this

SQL

ALTER SCHEMA {target-schema-name} TRANSFER {original-schema-name}.{table-name}

In you case

SQL

ALTER SCHEMA xxx TRANSFER dbo.MyTableName
