Explanation

In the sentence "Children were making love castle",

the word "making" is a verb, but specifically, it functions as a main verb in the sentence

Verb: "Making" is a form of the verb "make,"  indicating an action.

Main verb: "Making" is the main verb,  part of the verb phrase "were making."

The structure of the sentence is the past continuous tense (with the auxiliary verb "were" and the main verb "making").


NOTE
