du -s will tell you the total of all files and directories under cwd.

du -s *
but it tells the size of each file in the cwd, as well as total size
of everything under each directory.  So then you'd to filter out the
files from the directories.  Maybe you could use find to find all the
directories without recursing into them, and then run du -s on each.
