The topic for CREATE SCHEMA starts off

Creates a schema in the current database.

Normally you can get away with a USE first in your dynamic SQL, but
CREATE SCHEMA must be alone in a batch. Well, you could do:

EXSC('USE ' + @db + ' EXEC(''CREATE SCHEMA ' + @sch + ''')')

(But use quotename() to deal with the mess of nested quotes.)
