The other perspectives are good.

What do think about the Children of the Forest to create the “Stark” Night King?

Bran has had greendreams in seasons 1-3 without the aid of weirwood-contact, so no, I don't think it is. Also, Jojen was a boy who had greendreams without being a full-on greenseer, and he didn't need to touch trees to have visions, so why would Bran need it as a fully-experienced seer?

Personally, I think that the Night King might be Brandon of the Bloody Blade, a forebear (or father) of Bran the Builder.

The Children of the Forest were the first to worship the Old Gods and had wargs and greenseer amongst their number. Apparently, after the Long Night, the First Men adopted their belief and wargs and greenseers were born among their own numbers.

In Episode 6x6, Benjen Stark said something which suggested that he had seen Bran's visions. The procedure the Children performed on Benjen was also suggested to have been similar to what they had done to the Night King. And in Epsiode 6x5, after how we saw the Night King being created, Bran entered a vision in which the Night King had marked Bran. Proving that the Night King is also a greenseer. An ability which seems to have developed after the dragonglass was inserted into his heart. And so it maybe that the number of greenseers and wargs born amongst humans in Westeros, such as House Stark, could be due to their descent from the Night King (before his full-transforamtion into the immortal ice-daemon he is today).
