Hi @Srikanth ,
According to my research and testing, you can try to create Folder in SharePoint site using postman according to the following steps.
Hope it can help you, thanks for your understanding and support.

Steps:
1.get "Access_token";
2.

POST https://xxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/xxxxx/\_api/web/folders
Authorization: "Bearer " + accessToken
Accept: "application/json;odata=verbose"
Content-Type: "application/json;odata=verbose"

3.Input the following script in the body:

{
"__metadata": {
"type": "SP.Folder"
},
"ServerRelativeUrl": "https://xxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/xxxxx/test/folder"
}

4.Click "Send", and the folder is created successfully.

Please follow these steps to create a folder in SharePoint, and check if there are any missing steps:
1.Follow the steps in the documentation to get the "Access_token" (as shown in the following screenshot).

2.Copy the "Access_token" to "Authorization". And input "URL" , "Headers" and "Body"

  "__metadata": {  
    "type": "SP.Folder"
