If you want a more in-depth, in-universe answer, then you'll have to wait and see if Super tackles that issue.

The Dagon Ball universes? Probably Yog-Sothoth.

The Whis people.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

Several blind guesses:

1) Whis and/or Whis' race.

2) Primordial dragons, who Shenlong and Porunga are echoes of, or reincarnations, or something

3) The "World Tree" that grows Kaios and Kaioshins is actually sentient, the first living thing, and creator of everything else

4) Going off of that, since we already know the Kaios and Kaioshins are the "Gods of Creation" and grow from the World Tree, the simplest and most boring answer is that the original Kaios/Kaioshins to grow created everything besides themselves and the tree. This still leaves unanswered where the World Tree ultimately came from, but you're pretty much always stuck with some question like that in any creation myth.

Since Toriyama literally included himself as a character in-universe, there is no need for speculation. The in-universe answer is literally Toriyama. Although this,

Akira Torimaya himself exist in Dragon Ball and was said to having a higher rank than the Kaioshins,so its possible that he is the one who created since he really is the one who created it.He is like Stan Lee,a guy who also exist to the world of fiction he created himself,i wonder if Akira Toriyama will have a cameo like Stan Lee in Super in the future :lol:

Why do you have to assume it was any kind of intelligent agency at all? They might just exist eternally, or were spawned naturally by some cosmic event.

I won't be surprised if DB Super is successful and go past the universe 6 arc the next idea is to introduce higher level deities like the Gods/rulers of the multiverse or so.

Toribot or grand Kai from movie 12, Arale and Whis are the Beyonder Versions of DBZ eventhough Beyonder would be Buuhan level.

You mean as in just from another universe or more?
Also even though the Beyonder has been retconned multiple times and is made weaker each time (except for the last time) he is (iirc) always absurdly powerful (except for the times he has removed his powers) so I don't see Buuhan being near him. And no way is Buuhan close to pre-retcon, from what has been shown, nobody in DB even comes close.

Maybe there was a giant big bang that created everything. I go by the Big Bang unless stated otherwise.

The Kaioshin did. The Kaioshin are creation gods afterall.

The world tree could possible be something that connects the universes together by being the source of the Kaioshin's existence.
