      myFile = Dir(myFolder & myItem & "\*.xlsm*")



     Do While myFile <> “”

'Open workbook

     Set wbk = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=myFolder & myItem & " \ " & myFile)

'Copy data from the opened workbook

      lastrow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row

      lastcolumn = ActiveSheet.Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column

      ActiveSheet.Range("A1,B5,C6").Copy
'Close opened workbook without saving any changes

The biggest problem is you are trying to copy a range of non-contiguous cells, which Excel doesn't allow. Also you are using activesheet, which you should be addressing the workbooks and sheets directly.
You weren't very precise in what you wanted or the name of your master file, so Here is what can be run to put A1, B5, C6 in the master file on sheet 1 in A1, A2, A3, then the same in column B for the next file, on through a separate column for each file you open. You will need to modify the Dir command for specific needs.

myfile = Dir(direct, "*.xlsm")  'sets myfile equal to the first file name
Do While myfile <> ""        'loops until there are no more files in the direstory
CLMS = Workbooks("Master_file.xlsx").Sheets(1).Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column + 1
    Set wbk = Workbooks.Open(FileName:=fname)

    Workbooks(myfile).Sheets(1).Range("A1").Copy Workbooks("Master_file.xlsx").Sheets(1).Cells(1, CLMS)
    Workbooks(myfile).Sheets(1).Range("B5").Copy Workbooks("Master_file.xlsx").Sheets(1).Cells(2, CLMS)
    Workbooks(myfile).Sheets(1).Range("C6").Copy Workbooks("Master_file.xlsx").Sheets(1).Cells(3, CLMS)
           wbk.Close SaveChanges:=False`
Workbooks("Master_file.xlsx").save

     myfile = Dir            

Loop
