You need to use the absolute path in both the mkdir call and the rename call. the following two lines will make the the script current working directory (cwd) the directory you specify. You'll also not that I have used forward slashes rather than doubled backslashes. The result is the same, but this is rather more readable I think. This will work for all pathnames within Perl, even on Win32 (and other DOS-like systems as the pod would have it:). 

use Cwd 'chdir';
chdir '//10.1.1.5/Weblogiclogs';

Alternatively, simply prepend the directory name to the filename as in 

my $createdir = '//10.1.1.5/Weblogiclogs' . strftime( '%y%d%e%H%M%S', 
+localtime);

As for where the directory you created was created and the files moved to, that will depend what the cwd was at the time. If you had run the script from the command line, it would have been the same as the directory you were in when you ran it? At least under any circumstances I can think of.

As for where the directory/files that you created/moved are - probably the easiest way to find them would be to use the Start->Find...->Files or Folders... option and enter the name of the directory you created.
