question word

How many,
how much,
how long,
how often,
what time,
and
what kind

if we use these words to ask a question what it will be, "an embaded" question?

for instance,
If we ask,

"I have no idea how long the intereview will take." ( this is an embedded question)

but if we ask,

"How long the interview will take?"

is it embedded question? if it is embedded question then should we use here "?".

and if it is not embedded question then why the verb place after the subject.
or it is subjcet question!

i am confused plz help me!

I have no idea how long the interview will take.

Direct questions have a question mark (?), and the subject and the verb are inverted.

How long will the interview take?

(How long the interview will take? is not correct.)
