If above code is working for you then to create folder you just need to change this line
QName contentQName = QName.createQName("{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}content");
with

this one
QName contentQName = QName.createQName("{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}folder");

directory is nothing but the noderef of parent space under which you want to create folder.
you have to get it from repo using search,

You can first search parent directory by using FileFolderService.searchSimple() or FileFolderService.search() method and then use create() method to create a file or folder; or any type derived from file or folder.

Get root node using nodeService


        NodeRef storeRootNodeRef = nodeService.getRootNode(StoreRef.STORE_REF_WORKSPACE_SPACESSTORE);
‍‍‍

Search parent directory ith the matching name pattern using fileFolderService or using searchServcie


   //using fileFolderService
        List<FileInfo> parentDirectory = fileFolderService.searchstoreRootNodeRef , "folder name****", true);
   NodeRef parentNodeRef = parentDirectory .getNodeRef();
   //using searchService
        List<NodeRef> results = searchService.selectNodes(
                storeRootNodeRef,
                "/app:company_home/app:****/",
                null,
                namespaceService,
                false,
                SearchService.LANGUAGE_XPATH);
        if (results.size() == 0)
        {
            throw new AlfrescoRuntimeException("Didn't find node"+name);
        }
        NodeRef parentNodeRef = results.get(0);
