Because it is not a question. If you want to ask a question you should use the axuilary verb, is here, in the beginnig of the sentence. If it is a wh question ,begining with when, why , which etc., axuliary verb comes after them. Or you replace the question words like ( I don't know the exact terminology) how old, how many etc., first then replace the axuilary verb.

How old ( question word as I name it:)) + is ( axuilary verb) + the rest of the sentece+ question mark "?"

How old + is + she + ?

However, you can turn this sentence into a noun clause . For example: I don't know how old she is. In this sentence you don't use a question mark at the end of the sentence because this is not a question. You just declare that you don't know her age. If you look carefully, you can see that I put "is" at the end of the sentece.

Aiemen1) How old is she? - This question is correct because it is a direct question.

2) How old she is? - this question is not correct. To make it correct, you should add some words to the question. For example, I want to know how old she is. (Note that a full stop is required, not a question mark.)
