Maybe I'm being dense, but doesn't that just mean

  mkdir /xyz/abc
  mv /xyz/123 /xyz/abc/123

?

It shouldn't matter how full 123 is; moving it is a simple operation.

If you're trying to do something more complex that I'm missing, maybe
you should describe the problem a bit more, and show us the code that
you've been attempting to use.
