That itself does not cause tornadoes, but a similar phenomenon is a factor in tornado formation.

When wind at different altitudes blows in different speeds and directions, the air in between and start to roll horizontally. This is called wind shear. Again, wind shear alone cannot produce a tornado, but it is an important factor in how tornadoes form.

What is created in a severe thunderstorm when wind in the upper part of a cloud blows in a different direction than wind in the lower part of the cloud?

When wind in the upper part of a cloud blows in a different direction than the wind in the lower part, it creates wind shear. This wind shear can lead to the tilting of the storm, enhancing its rotation and potentially leading to the formation of a severe thunderstorm, including tornadoes.
