  The working code that I use is this:
  
repeat
tell application "Capture One 12" to tell ref2ResultProject
if not (exists collection named (get nameResultAlbum & coll_ctr)) then
set nameResultAlbum to (get nameResultAlbum & coll_ctr)
set ref2ResultAlbum to make new collection with properties {kind:album, name:nameResultAlbum}
exit repeat
else
set coll_ctr to coll_ctr + 1
end if
end tell
end repeat
  This based on this post
  
  I think what might work for you is this:
  
tell application "Capture One 12" to tell document 1 to set ref2NewAlbum to make new collection with properties {kind:album, name:"selected"}

  I think its useful and important to take note of Capture One's Applescript dictionary entry for Make
  
make v : Create a new object.
make
new type : The class of the new object.
[at location specifier] : The location at which to insert the object.
[with data any] : The initial contents of the object.
[with properties record] : The initial values for properties of the object.
→ specifier : The new object.
  You can probably include something like this to add the selected variants when you create the collections:
  with data (every variant whose selected is true)
  
  For a session, if you use favorite instead of album then you likely have to specify the folder property, since a favorite cannot exist without a folder. This might either come as a property, as in:
  
set ref2NewAlbum to make new collection with properties {kind:favorite, name:"selected", folder:someFolderRef}
or perhaps with the the [at location specifier] clause as in
  
set ref2NewAlbum to make new collection with properties at someFolderRef with properties {kind:favorite, name:"selected"}

  I have not tried using the [at location specifier] clause. Mostly I use catalogs, perhaps if the location is not specified, a default location is used.
  
  As always, proceed one step at a time. Get something that works, the minimum function. Then add stuff one step at a time.
