I have moved a zipped file to a directory which does not exist. It resulted in creating a new file. But I am not able to open/unzip it.

You probably ran something like
mv foo.zip bar
If there was no directory called bar
, you have now renamed your foo.zip
to bar
. However, unzip
expects a .zip
extension. So, all you need to do is rename it again:
mv bar bar.zip
Now you should be able to unzip as expected.
Next time, please include the exact command you ran and the errors you got in your question, it makes it much easier to understand the problem.
