Hello payalm,

Try this below code for your reference,

var myDoc = app.documents[0]
var myCurrentNode = app.selection[0];
var parentNode = myCurrentNode.parent.xmlElements.add('TestNode');
parentNode = parentNode.move(LocationOptions.BEFORE,myCurrentNode);
myDoc.recompose();
myCurrentNode = myCurrentNode.move(LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING,parentNode);
