Which sentence is correct?
Here is a sentence " What's the matter?"
If I want to put "I don't know" in front of the above sentence:
A. I don't know what's the matter?
B. I don't know what the matter is?
Could you please tell me which sentence is correct ?
one of Americans said A was correct which one of Brits said B was correct.
Thank you so much for your help.

Neither are 100% correct.
A) I don't know, what's the matter?
This makes sense (with the addition of a comma) but completely changes the meaning.
B) I don't know what the matter is.
This is only correct with the utilization of a period and not a question mark since it is not formulated as a question.

Interesting question.
A What's the matter?
B I don't know what the matter is.
Just to mention that many British people will use the shorter version: I don't know.
A You must know what the matter is!
B I really don't!
A Come on, tell me, what's the matter?
B I still don't know; and it does not matter how many times you ask me.
