WQL means WMI Query Language and its syntax is similar to SQL. Depending on the programming language you use for your custom sensor, you can use WQL. Powershell on the other hand uses a different approach, you can return WMI objects and use the Powershell syntax (instead of WQL syntax.)
You might want to use a non-WMI script (though it only works locally) as a starting point.
param([string]$path = "C:\temp" ,[string]$mask = "*.*",[switch]$recursive = $false,[switch]$dironly = $false)
$Options = @{
Recurse = $recursive
Directory = $dironly
Path = $path
Filter = $mask
}
$Items = (Get-ChildItem @Options).Count
Write-Host ([string]::Format("{0}:{0} Objects found in {1}", $items,$path));
Though this sensor counts items, not size, it could be starting point to have something to play with / expand on.

A treesize-like monitoring is not implemented in PRTG, I am sorry. PRTG can only measure the size of pre-defined folders.
