A quick Google search turns up these two possibilities:

Commands > Apply Formatting
Commands > Clean up HTML

For the 2017 CC release this has been moved (after many years of habit development). Find it now at:

Edit > Code > Apply Source Formatting.

It may be prudent to set up a keyboard shortcut if this is something you'll need regularly.

Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts

I tried some of the sources online and finally, the below selection works fine for me (Dreamweaver on Mac). For versions above Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2017 and above:

Adobe says:

Edit > Code > Apply Source Formatting

Moreover, full documentation with other supporting information for tasks such as setting defaults, etc. on https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/format-code.html.

This is the only thing I've found for JavaScript formatting in Dreamweaver. Not many options, but it seems to work well.

Auto formatting can be done by

Select View > Code View Options
Click the View Options button in the toolbar at the top of Code view or the Code inspector.

Auto Indent Makes your code indent automatically when you press Enter while writing code.

Please click on "edit" -> then keyboard shortcuts. It`s straight forward from there. Just select the command from the list, and press the + button.

You will need to create a duplicate set, then select it again from the list. And finally set a keyboard shortcut!

Now, before saving, press the shortcut you just created!

Coding toolbar (Edit > Toolbars > Coding) and select Code Format Settings to set your preferred formatting.

You can also access the formatting option from Commands > Apply Source Formatting or only apply it to a select block of code by selecting the Apply Source Formatting to Selection option.
