You need to src folder otherwise it is not working.you can copy src folder from https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPWord/tree/develop/src.

<?php
try
{
    require 'vendor/autoload.php';
    $name = basename(__FILE__, '.php');
    $name="file-name";
    $source = __DIR__ . "/{$name}.docx";

    $phpWord = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::load($source);
    // Adding an empty Section to the document...
    $section = $phpWord->addSection();
    // Adding Text element to the Section having font styled by default...
    $section->addText($data);

    $name=basename(__FILE__, '.php');
    $source = __DIR__ . "/results/{$name}.html";

    // Saving the document as HTML file...
    $objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'HTML');
    $objWriter->save($source);


}catch(Exception $e)
{
    echo $e->getLine();
    echo "<br>/";
    echo $e->getMessage();
    echo "<br/>";
    echo $e->getFile();
    exit;
}
echo "Generated successfully";
