By using "New-ComplianceSearchAction" cmdlet i created searce by i don not know how i can export it by Powershell.

Are they any options to do export use Poweshell?

You cannot directly export to PST, so you have to use eDiscovery/Content search indeed. Once the search is complete and the export action done, you can use the method outlined here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-365/export-to-pst-via-powershell/m-p/193934/highlight/true#M14407

Do note that this is not an officially supported solution, so use at your own risk.

I tried to do like on the topic, but there is not parameter -export for New-ComplianceSearchAction" cmdlet. And i got the error below.

A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Export'

That's because you don't have the necessary permissions. Refer to the cmdlet help for more info: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/new-compliancesearchaction?view=exchange-ps

I examined the problem and came to the conclusion that I could fix it via the panel, not with Powershell. You can find the solution from the link below. I hope that will be useful.
