Hello,
Is it fine to have both upper and lower molar teeth only on one side of mouth and none on another? Will it create any problem?

Yes of course it will create many prblms, the first thing is in chewing, then due to chewing only from one side the whole pressure will be on one side due to which the periodontal prblms will arise. Secondly depending on the absence of the teeth there will be pathologic migration , supraeruption of the other present teeth.
Next Steps
consult the dentist and go for artificial replacement of the teeth.

It won't create any problem as such but all the chewing forces will be concentrated on one side which will eventually lead to periodontal or gum problems, tooth attrition etc in few years to come.
The cheek where teeth are not present will pout which may not look aesthetical also.
