How to read multiple files is explained extensively in the documentation, on this forum, and in the wiki:
etc
The first thing to decide is if you want to generate the file names, or if you want to read the names of existing files:
  • generate names: use sprintf and fullfile.
  • read names: use dir and fullfile.
You can also find some examples with my FEX submission natsortfiles:

Note that, it is not needed to use figure(k), you can simply use only one figure and update it every time and save.
path = pwd ; % mention your path
myfolder = 'myfolder' ; % new folder name
folder = mkdir([path,filesep,myfolder]) ;
path = [path,filesep,myfolder] ;
for k = 1:10
figure(k);
plot(rand(1,10));
temp=[path,filesep,'fig',num2str(k),'.png'];
saveas(gca,temp);
end

That gives you path. You can print it out on screen and check.
