Correct answer jazz-y

That that code did not what you wanted has been established.

What was the problem with the code DmitryEgorov had provided?

try this:

for (var i=0; i<app.documents.length; i++) {
    var doc = app.activeDocument = app.documents[i],
    f = doc.fullName
    doc.saveAs (File(f.path + "/" + decodeURI(f.name).replace(/\.\S+$/, "") + ".psd"))
    f.remove()
}

* i think I understand what the geppettol66959005 needs

OK, a fresh take on the original post:

/* Start Saved Document Error Check - Part A: Try */
savedDoc();

function savedDoc() {
    try {
        app.activeDocument.path;
        /* Finish Saved Document Error Check - Part A: Try */

        /* Main Code Start */
        for (var i = 0; i < app.documents.length; i++) {
            app.activeDocument = app.documents[i];
            var doc = app.activeDocument;
            var docName = doc.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
            var docPath = doc.path;
            
            // File Saving Code
            var saveFilePSD = new File(docPath + '/' + docName + '.psd');
            SavePSD(saveFilePSD);
        }

        // PSD Options
        function SavePSD(saveFilePSD) {
            psdSaveOptions = new PhotoshopSaveOptions();
            psdSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
            psdSaveOptions.alphaChannels = true;
            psdSaveOptions.layers = true;
            psdSaveOptions.annotations = true;
            psdSaveOptions.spotColors = true;
            activeDocument.saveAs(saveFilePSD, psdSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);
        }
        
        // alert("All open documents saved as PSD to the source file path!");

        // Close All Open Docs
        /*
        while (app.documents.length) {
        app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
        }
        // alert("All open documents closed!");
        */

        /* Main Code Finish */
    }

    /* Start Saved Document Error Check - Part B: Catch */
    catch (err) {
        alert("One or more previously saved documents must be open before running this script!");
    }
}
/* Finish Saved Document Error Check - Part B: Catch */

Note: I have commented out the code to close all open docs and the alerts to inform at key points.

EDIT: Late thought, I think that the OP wants the original open files to now be the PSD files?

I tried with the names »mano.jpg« and »piede.jpg« and it worked as expected.

Why not?

All necessary components are available - just not all possible scenarios.

What is wrong with this code?

for (var i=0; i<app.documents.length; i++) {
    var f = app.documents[i].fullName, 
    p = f.path, 
    n = decodeURI(f.name).replace(/\.\S+$/, "")
    app.documents[i].saveAs (File(p + "/" + n + ".psd"))
    f.remove() // removes original file, delete this line if it is not necessary
}

Only for addition

var aDoc = activeDocument;
try {
    var docPath = aDoc.path;
} catch (e) {
    alert("not saved before");
    // code for saving
    }

... also document names may contain characters not supported by the current file system, there may be other errors while saving the file (read only or inaccessible folder), etc. - all this things needs to be processed...
I think that geppettol66959005 just does not need it.

save all open documents in psd
in the same path as the original files

and rename the source file from test.jpg to test.psd

for (var i=0; i<app.documents.length; i++) {
    var f = app.documents[i].fullName, 
    p = f.path, 
    n = decodeURI(f.name).replace(/\.\S+$/, "")
    app.documents[i].saveAs (File(p + "/" + n + ".psd"))
    f.remove() // removes original file, delete this line if it is not necessary
}

* unsaved documents that do not have a disk path will cause an error. In this case, the c_pfaffenbichler code is more suitable

You could try

File > Scripts > Image Processor

with »Save as PSD«.

But as the psd-files are not the jpg-files renaming them does not seem to be an option.

I need a clean script because I have to put it in a quick button.

I have this
but it only works for jpg

i would like the same for psd.

var startDisplayDialogs = app.displayDialogs
app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO


if (app.documents.length > 0) {
   var theFirst = app.activeDocument;
   var theDocs = app.documents;

   jpgOpts = new JPEGSaveOptions( );
   jpgOpts.embedColorProfile = true;
   jpgOpts.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
   jpgOpts.matte = MatteType.NONE;
   jpgOpts.quality = 12;

   for (var m = 0; m < theDocs.length; m++) {
     var theDoc = theDocs[m];
     var num = m + 1;
     app.activeDocument = theDoc;

     theDoc.saveAs((new File("~/Desktop/file_" + num)), jpgOpts, false, Extension.LOWERCASE); 
   };
   app.activeDocument = theFirst;
};

It seems to me that your original post did not describe what you want by a long shot.

Anyway, this should save the files with numbers to the Destop.

var startDisplayDialogs = app.displayDialogs

app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO

if (app.documents.length > 0) {

var theFirst = app.activeDocument;

var theDocs = app.documents;

// psd options;

psdOpts = new PhotoshopSaveOptions();

psdOpts.embedColorProfile = true;

psdOpts.alphaChannels = true;

psdOpts.layers = true;

psdOpts.spotColors = true;

for (var m = 0; m < theDocs.length; m++) {

var theDoc = theDocs[m];

var num = m + 1;

app.activeDocument = theDoc;

theDoc.saveAs((new File("~/Desktop/file_" + num + ".psd")), psdOpts, false, Extension.LOWERCASE);

};

app.activeDocument = theFirst;

};
