Is there a way to create a google app script to create a new folder in Google Drive that is NOT IN THE ROOT FOLDER? A script to move a folder in the root to a particular folder will also do.

The folder object has a createFolder method, see doc here. so you should simply get the folder you want and create the new one from there.

If you are going to need the folder ID to let's say move or create a file there you can do the following.

var parentFolder = DriveApp.getFolderById(parentFolderId);
var newFolderID = parentFolder.createFolder("New Folder Name").getId();

Then you can do this

DriveApp.getFolderById(newFolderID);
