The children from "The Sound of Music," who were portrayed by actors in the film released in 1965, would now be in their late 60s to early 70s, depending on their birth years. The youngest of the group, played by Kym Karath (Gretl), was born in 1959, making her around 64 years old today. The oldest, played by Charmian Carr (Leisl), was born in 1942 and would be around 81 years old, though she passed away in 2016.
In The Sound of Music, the oldest child in the von Trapp family is Liesl (played by Charmian Carr). As she states at Maria's arrival, "I'm Liesl, I'm sixteen years old and I don't need a governess." Outside of the family, there is Rolfe (played by Daniel Truhitte) who plays Liesl's love interest and, as he states in the song he sings to Liesl, he is "seventeen going on eighteen." So it just depends on if you mean oldest child in the family or in the movie.
