Much the same as Ofnuts,
Make selection (note selection just encloses an area and is independent of layers) A channel is one way to save this area but is not the selected pixels, you have to do that yourself with a copy.
With selection layer active, Edit -> Copy
Onto the destination layer, close the selection Select -> None
Paste the selection to same location Edit -> Paste in Place.
Anchor the selection. Layer -> Anchor Layer

edit: oops, not paying attention copied from layer 3 into layer 2 but the principle is the same
