they are not on disk they were put into folders
Technically, a "true" (disk) folder, by definition, resides on a disk (or SSD etc..). Do you mean "collections" (i.e. not true folders).
Anyway, let me know when you locate your raws:
* in Lightroom (outside the "all photographs" collection) - whether you find in folders or collections.
* outside of Lightroom (on disk, in true folders, as shown in Windows Explorer).
And let me know if they've been edited yet (in Lightroom).
