HTML Code:
#!/bin/bash
dir=/home/andre/Documents/Scripts/Copy
files=$(pwd | ls -m )
counter= #counter set to number of files counted with wc -c
numberfiles=$(ls -m | wc -w )
echo " files in these folder are $files "
if [ ! -d $dir ]; then
mkdir Copy
else
echo " $dir exists so now will copy files "
fi
while [ $counter -lt $numberfies ];
do
cp ${file}s ${dir}
let counter=counter+1
until [ $counter=numberfiles ] do
shift 1
#cp $files $dir/$files
#echo " $files has been copied "

I'm trying with the little time I have today (busy...) to work out your request from the beginning ( You may not like that...) in order to analyse and start giving you what you need to achieve your task.
So ""want to create script that takes name of directory and all files and will copy each file to new directory." Is this still the case? If yes this is why in my script I introduced you the read command.
Q: What do you want really? Have your script to accept 2 parameters: fromDIR ToDIR?
If this is the case (before doing anything else!) you would have to test
1) if fromDIR exist, if not ask to enter the path to directory to copy
2) does ToDIR exist if not can you create it if yes OK if not: What will you do?
