The first one is indeed correct, but not the second question.

Hi Catherine, your instinct is right!! Only the first option is correct. Remember that when we make Wh- questions in English, the subject goes before the main verb (with some exceptions, of course, as with pretty much everything in English!). So, for example, we say "Where do birds fly to during the winter?" or "Where did you go last night?"
Hope it helps...have a great day! :)
