How to create new folder in wp-content root same like upload folder?

You can’t. The simple reason is that wp-content doesn’t even have to exist, and if it exists, it might not be writable.

On systems with an automatic deployment and rollbacks, the upload directory is usually completely separated from the WordPress directory, and you cannot create a new directory on the same level.

Summary: If you need a writable directory, you have to use one inside of the existing upload directory. That’s the only place where you can expect write access.
