Can we say 'comment vont-ils vos enfants' ?

I had a test question to fill in the blanks: comment ___ vos enfants? 

I put : vont-ils

The answer is : vont

I don't understand why I am wrong. If so, how to express the same meaning with inverted question? Thanks.

You would need to write "Vos enfants, comment vont-ils ?" Your children, how are they?

Otherwise it would be "Comment vont vos enfants ?" How are your children?

(How goes your children) or (Your children, how are they going) in terms of enquiring about their health or general well-being.
