The word 'children' is a countable noun, so it must be modified by 'many' rather than 'much'. 'Much' is used with uncountable nouns (much water, much time), while 'many' is used with countable nouns (many children, many books). The sentence correctly asks 'How many children do you have?' This is a fundamental grammar distinction between countable and uncountable nouns.
