Answer 1

You have a typo in your request path. childern should be children.

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/root/children
{
    "name": "New Folder",
    "folder": {},
    "@microsoft.graph.conflictBehavior": "rename"
}
# Response
{
    "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#users('2f43...')/drive/root/children/$entity",
    "createdDateTime": "2021-10-15T06:43:20Z",
    ...
}
