Hi again. Because nobody answer me I suppose that is a little bit difficult. I searched all day long about this problem and in the final I found something (thanks to msdn portal and forum). I succeded to make it work and I post my solutin right here. I also found that the javascript library WL dows not support directly to create a file in the onedrve account but REST services does so I just used REST services with AJAX. (I don't know if is the best solution but for me it's working).

JavaScript

function create_docx()
    {
        WL.login({
            scope: ["wl.signin", "wl.basic", "wl.skydrive", "wl.skydrive_update"]
        }).then(
            function (response) {
                $.ajax({
                    type: 'POST',
                    contentType: "multipart/form-data; boundary=A300x",
                    processData: false,
                    url: 'https://apis.live.net/v5.0/me/skydrive/files?access_token=' + response.session.access_token,
                    data: createUploadRequestBody(),
                    success: function () { alert('Success!'); },
                    error: function () { alert(response.error_description); },
                });
            });
    }

    function createUploadRequestBody() {
        var body = "--A300x\r\n"
        + "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"file\"; filename=\"csm.docx\"\r\n"
        + "Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n"
        + "\r\n"
        + "This is some content\r\n"
        + "\r\n"
        + "--A300x--\r\n";
        return body;
    }
