Word order differs between direct questions and indirect questions.
Direct questions have the auxiliary verb first, then the subject; indirect questions have the subject and then the auxiliary verb. If there is no auxiliary verb, a form of do is added to provide one for inversion in direct questions. Forms of do never occur in indirect questions.
It happened.
