"I was just asking where the toilet is." is not a question. You are now tellling us what you just asked someone.

"Where is the toilet?" is a question.

There are also indirect questions. Asking an indirect question also changes the word order.

Compare:

Direct question: Where is the toilet?

Indirect question: Do you know where the toilet is?
