Explanation:
In English questions, "do" is (lot of the time at least) nothing more than a place holder for a missing auxiliary verb. All questions in English require an auxiliary verb. "Could you show me the way?" "May I go to the bathroom?" "Shouldn't you be in bed?" Any question that does not have an auxiliary verb fills that place in the sentence in with "do": "Do you know what I mean?" "Did you get the present?" "Do you like my new car?" In your sentence, "Do you know where [does] she live[s]?" 'where she lives' is a phrase that acts as the object of the verb "know." It is not a question, but rather a thing, a statement -- the piece of information that you want, "where she lives". The question you ask is "do you know [the information]". Since the object of your question (i.e. the information the person "knows") is not itself a second question, but rather a statement/fact, there is no need for an auxiliary verb, and therefore no need to substitute "do" for the missing auxiliary verb. Therefore the correct sentence is: "Do you know where she lives."
