Hi @AhmedSaleh-7897 , welcome to Q&A forum!

This is the default behavior of SharePoint. Folder names can't include: " # % * : < > ? / |

==========Update1======================

Does the issue exists in other libraries? Try to create folder and compare the results.

If the issue just exists in one library, check whether the library has unique permission, make sure the users has at least contribute permission on the library.
