Paul is correct. When you add "I wonder" it is no longer a question (that is, in question format).
Here are some more examples:
How old is he? direct question
I wonder how old he is. -- indirect, no longer a question
Where does Mary live?
I wonder where Mary lives.
"What do I want to do with my life?"
I asked myself what I wanted to do with my life.

"What are they doing?" interrogative form inverts to become "I wonder what they are doing" non-interrogative form.

The first is correct, the second would sound fine if you paused mid-sentence: I wonder... what are they doing?
