It would be grand, wouldn't it? Unfortunately I don't think the LHC will, itself, discover dark matter. There is no information on what dark matter is to look for whatever it is. The LHC was built to get direct measurements of a particle that scientists were practically certain existed. There was already a lot of inferred evidence and mathematical evidence of the existence and properties of the Higgs Boson. Scientists already knew what they were looking for when they built the LHC.

In so far as Dark Matter, all that is known about it is that there should be something that causes the effects that scientists see but that's about all the evidence we have.

Well, it had to be created in the first moments after the big bang. Surely we should be able to create it as well.

Quite possible, if scientists knew what they were trying to create. Heck, they've made anti-matter. Albeit extremely tiny amounts, but they did it.
