I think this folder was probably created by accident at some point, but I can't ls or cd to it to check.
Things I have tried:
ls '-F'
ls "-F"
ls -F
ls \-F
ls \-F
and the cd equivalents
bash cd ls

You can always specify the file as absolute or relative path instead of just the file name.
The simplest way is to just prefix it with a ./ to indicate it's in your current directory and avoid having the first character of the argument being a - that causes it to be treated as option/flag:
ls ./-F
This should work with basically every command that expects a file name or path as argument, even those which do not support the use of -- as argument separator.
