Use "Find-PnPFile" instead of Get-PnPFolderItem and try.

 

Function checkin-allfiles {
[cmdletbinding()]

param (
[Parameter (position = 0,HelpMessage = 'The Folder Site Relative URL (/Documents)', Mandatory = $TRUE)]
[String]$FSRU
)
$files = Find-PnPFile -Folder $FSRU -Match *
foreach ($file in $files) {

Set-PnPFileCheckedOut -Url $file.ServerRelativeUrl -Verbose
Set-PnPFileCheckedIn -Url $file.ServerRelativeUrl -CheckinType MajorCheckIn -Comment 'Checked In with Script to raise version to major' -Verbose
}

}
