Not a teacher or a native speaker.
As a question, the second one is correct.
———————————————————————————-
This is grammatically incorrect. «Do», «does» and «did» sometimes work before a verb when they’re using as an emphasis.
I did tell you not to go there!

The first sentence is the kind of question you might hear after someone made a statement to the contrary. For instance:
«Hey, what happened to the cookies I left on my desk?»
«I didn’t eat them.»
«Well, who did eat them then?

I agree with MagEditor.
Another sample dialogue:
A: Who invented paper?
B: Gutenberg did.
A: I know that’s not true.
B: All right then, who did invent paper?

I imagine your question is why the operator do is necessary in some wh- questions and not in others:
Who invented paper?
Where did he go? (Not ‘Where went he?’)
What does he want? (Not ‘What wants he?’)
The general rule is that the main verb has to come after the subject, and some form of verb needs to come immediately after the wh- word.
I have put the subject in bold to show you why the do operator is necessary in the second and third sentences, but not in the first.
Who invented paper?
Where did he go?
What does he want?

Where did he go?
What does he want?
What about :
Where he went?
Is it correct? The verb(went) comes after the subject(he) in this question.

What about :
Where he went?
Is it correct? The verb(went) comes after the subject(he) in this question.
No. It is incorrect. This form is used in many languages (for example Spanish) but it is not used in English. We always invert the order for a question.
Exception
If it is an indirect question then the order stays the same. «Can you tell me where he went?»
-
#8
So you ask, ‘Where did he go?’
Remember: we want the main verb went after the subject he. We also need a verb after the wh- word. So we put in a do operator, and the main verb needs to be in the base form.
(Many learners might have preferred to how English was earlier when whole verb was moved before the subject for the question form: Where went he? Sings she now? But we don’t speak like that today.)

They are both grammatically correct, but they mean slightly different things. The first one is the one you would use most of the time.
The second one would only be used in a situation like this:
«If the British didn’t invent paper, I have one question. Who did invent paper?»
