Something like this:

Code:
for file in *; do
   if [ -d $file ]; then
      cd $file; mkdir test
   fi
done

-EDIT
You can skip the testing for directory as well. 'cd' won't work on anything except directories (but there might be links that point to directories and you'd end up creating "test" where you don't want to).
