I have a host of lwp files sprinkled across multiple folders that I would like to convert.
To practice I opened a Command Prompt window and navigated to a folder.
I entered the following command:
D:\Applications\LibreOffice\program\soffice.exe --convert-to DOC a.lwp
It does its thing very silently. No feedback, no nothing … and no new files in the source folder, either.
So…what am I doing wrong here?
Works for me like a charm (though I don’t understand, why you want to convert from a deprecated file format .lwp into another deprecated file format .doc)

This doesn’t look like .lwp but .lpw
I’d prefer to convert them to DOCX, but I do not believe this is an option. At least Word will open DOC files.
Here is my attempt to copy what you did on a file I know LibreOffice will open …
