Try below PowerShell:

$Web = Get-SPWeb "site collection URL"  
$List = $web.Lists["document library name"]  
$Item = $List.GetItembyID("document ID")  
$Author = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValue($web, $Item["Author"])  
$files=$List.RootFolder.files   
for($i = 0; $i -lt $files.Count){  
$file=$files[$i]     
$f = $web.GetFolder($list.RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl + "/" + $Author.user.displayname)  
if ($f.Exists -eq $false)  
  {  
    $folder = $list.Items.Add($list.RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl, [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFileSystemObjectType]::Folder, $Author.user.displayname)  
    $folder.Update();  
  }  
$file.MoveTo($folder.Url + "/" + $file.name)  
}
