mv directories question

I'm really new to Unix and its commands. I tried to move a file from the home directory to another one but I didn't type the full name of the new directory. I think the computer created another directory in the home directory and put it in there. However, now I can't access it and it doesn't even say its a directory. Is there any way to fix this?
