You will need the du command to find the disk usage of a directory. But it will not show you the percentage usage. You could try ncdu utility for getting a graphical (% usage) view of disk usage by direcories

free space is not per-directory it is per filesystem the directory lives in.
If you want % free for the filesystem try df -k <directory name>
