In page.php, it calls the sidebar1 and sidebar2
Do you mean archive.php or category.php?

i don’t know, is just a ideia
i don’t know the logic to do this
Try it with this in your sidebar.php
<?php
if(is_category()) { // are we on a category or archive page
$current_category = get_query_var('cat'); // the current category id
$category= get_categories( 'include='.$current_category );
// if the parent category ID in the top navigation is the parent of the current category
if($category[0]->category_parent == 3){
$child_categories= get_categories( 'child_of='.$current_category );
if(!empty($child_categories)){
foreach ( $child_categories as $child_cat ) {
$categories[] = $child_cat->cat_ID;
}
$sub_children = implode(',', $categories);
echo '<ul>';
wp_list_categories('include='.$sub_children);
echo '</ul>';
}
}
}
?>
change the ID (3) to your main menu option ID with all the child categories.
$category[0]->category_parent == 3

In my tests shows nothing
I don’t know the ID of the category with subcategories, have tried several numbers.
Thanks so much for your help.
To find a categorie ID go to wp-admin > Posts > Categories and click on the category name of the top level category that is in your main menu at the top. The url of the page you are on will show what the category id is. eg wp-admin/edit-tags.php?action=edit&taxonomy=category&post_type=post&tag_ID=14 means the category ID is 14
Can you put the content of sidebar.php in the pastebin and link back to it

if(is_category()) { // are we on a category or archive page
$current_category = get_query_var('cat'); // the current category id
$category= get_categories( 'include='.$current_category );
// if the parent category ID in the top navigation is the parent of the current category
if($category[0]->category_parent == 1){
$child_categories= get_categories( 'child_of='.$current_category );
if(!empty($child_categories)){
foreach ( $child_categories as $child_cat ) {
$categories[] = $child_cat->cat_ID;
}
$sub_children = implode(',', $categories);
