MAX_FOLDER_NUMBER = 10;
FOLDER_ROOT_NAME = 'folder';
for n = 1:MAX_FOLDER_NUMBER
    folder_name = [FOLDER_ROOT_NAME,sprintf('%d',n)];
    if not(exist(folder_name,'dir'))
        mkdir(folder_name)
    end
end
I tried to be very explicit about what each step is about. Also, this code checks whether the folder exists, but I don't actually think that is necessary. I don't think mkdir does anything if you try to create a directory that already exists, so you could just do
MAX_FOLDER_NUMBER = 10;
FOLDER_ROOT_NAME = 'folder';
for n = 1:MAX_FOLDER_NUMBER
    mkdir([FOLDER_ROOT_NAME,sprintf('%d',n)])
end
or just
for n = 1:10
    mkdir(['folder',sprintf('%d',n)])
end
if you don't want my parameterization.
