Erm, rather pushd +$1
I just copied the example function the original poster gave, since it
is his question.

./test.sh: line 4: dt: command not found
./test.sh: line 6: popd: directory stack empty
However, the point isn't the particular script, that was just an quick
example I cooked up to demonstrate the original poster's problem. A
function defined in the current shell is not available to a script
executed from that shell (perhaps it would with sh test.sh, I didn't
test that).
IOW I decided to see what his problem was rather than just shooting in
the dark.
