Test with hard-coded "ServerRelativeUrl" value.

There are two problems I see

The following are illegal characters in a folder name

~, #, %, & , *, {, }, \, :, <, >, ?, /, |, "

also, it would appear that your variable is outputting "wweqwqe\" instead of "wweqwqe/"

Try replacing both and giving it another try

@venturemavenwill I am not using any of these special characters ,, the problem seems to be with the # ... which i want to have, as we can add # using the UI when creating new folders

Also for the "wweqwqe\" instead of "wweqwqe/" .. this is how power automate show the folder inside the output.. the folder i am passing end with / and not \

@johnjohnPter try to encode the # sign. For example, use %23 instead of # and see if the frontend displays the # sign.
