You rather mean 저는 왜 여기에 있습니까?
~습니다 is for statements, 습니까 for questions, both in formal polite speech level. It's quite important to not confuse those two
On a side note, it's not very natural to use formal polite speech level when talking to yourself... It would be more natural to say 왜 여기에 있어, or 왜 여기에 있니, or 왜 여기에 있는가?
It's worth pointing out that Koreans won't normally use 'he' and 'she' in spoken language. Here is a great video explaining it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2250kOXVaGE

Thanks for the very good video. Too bad Duolingo never uses the common word 걔 in these exercises!
그는 무엇을 하러 학교에 갑니까?
- 그는 = "Regarding him"
- 무엇을 = "what"
- 하러 = "in order to do"
- 학교에 = "at school"
- 갑니까 = "go?"
Compiling the words together we get: "Regarding him, he goes to school in order to do what?" More naturally this is: "What does he go to school for?"
그는 무엇을 하러 학교에 갑니까? ("What does he go to school for?")
공부하러 학교에 갑니다. ("He goes to school to study.")
