Maybe you can try to rename the folder with PowerShell, like in this post:

$FileURL= "lib1/a/aa/Document3.docx"
$NewFileName ="wenjian.docx"

Connect-PnPOnline -Url $SiteURL -Credentials (Get-Credential)
#Rename the Folder
Rename-PnPFolder -Folder $FolderURL -TargetFolderName $FolderNewName
#Rename the File
Rename-PnPFile -SiteRelativeUrl $FileURL -TargetFileName $NewFileName -Force
