This is a proper name referring to a specific individual; the biographical meaning ('American cartoonist, creator of Peanuts') cannot be derived from the constituent names 'Charles' and 'Schulz'. Knowing the words as given names/surnames does not provide occupational or referential information, so a B1 learner who only knows the constituents would not infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Charles Schulz was an American cartoonist who drew the comic strip Peanuts, creating simple, lasting characters like Charlie Brown and the imaginative dog Snoopy. He made short, everyday pictures about small moments and big feelings, and because people loved those drawings his name is known as the 'creator' of Peanuts.
