It's hard to see much because the pictures are a bit blurred, but there's no harm in potting it up.
Maybe take some more photos after it is in a (plant not bonsai) pot.

Do i need to wait for spring to pot it? Or i can pot it now? I think i should wait until sprin. Maybe it is buxus,does it have any potential to be bonsai someday?

As long as temperatures are below some 10 degrees, plants are mostly dormant. So if you grab it now, and put it in a pot, nothing much will happen with the roots till spring. Except for the plant having to go through the rest of winter with a reduced set f roots, lots of open wounds etc.
It is betetr to grab it once spring is on the doorstep, and buds start to swell. If you have to move it now, I would take itout with as much roots as possible, and replant the whole thing in a corned of the garden. And only when spring comes clean the roots and move to a container. Of course you do know it does NOT go into a bonsai pot, but in a very large training dish first, right?
That being said.. I am off to a nursery in 2 weeks again, and might take some ground grown stock. At home it will be potted up, and placed in a greenhouse.
The species is often used for bonsai. It is slow growing and trunks thicken slowly. Wounds do not heal fast. As the wood is dense,, it is suitable for deadwood featuers.
