reference: dollar quote: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-syntax-lexical.html#SQL-SYNTAX-DOLLAR-QUOTING
Sometimes you don't know how much quote you need.You can first compose the string then do the execute command.
a horse already said that you function can be as simple as return current_date::timestamp;
If you add more quote then you function will work.

You string is like _sql0 format. You need use dollar quote or simple put more single quote in it. (_sql or _sql1).
I there a way to copy the existing schema and generate new schema with another name in the same database in postgres.
Use pg_dump to dump your current schema in a SQL-formated file. Open the file, replace the schemaname with the new name and excute this script in your database to create the new schema and all other objects inside this schema.
Check out this PostgreSQL's wiki page. It contains a function for clone_schema as you required, but this function only clones tables. The page refers to this post, which contains a function that clones everything you need for the schema. This function worked well for me, I managed to execute it with JDBC API.
But I had some problems when the schema names contained - or capital letters. After a research I found out that the source of the problem is quote_ident() method. I changes the clone_schema function to work with any schema names. I share the new function here, hope it will help somebody:

You can use this simple script :

DECLARE

If by copy schema you mean copy a database, then just use TEMPLATE option to create a copy: CREATE DATABASE dbname_target TEMPLATE dbname_source;
This will copy data too. So you might want to create your own template if you need many copies. See Template Databases.
If you need only schema, then I suggest that you put your DB DDL scripts under source control (which is a good idea anyways) and have a separate (templated) script which will create the schema for you. Basically you have one SQL file, where you replace a ${schema_name} with your new schema name, and then execute this script on the database. In this way if you make a changes to this schema, you can also have scripts to update the schema to a new version, which you will have to do for every user schema in this case.
Using #IdanDavidi's solution, I was able to solve the case where sequences were owned by and referring to the source schema instead of the destination schema.

This seems to be the best solution I came up to.
The idea is to use pg_dump with -O (no owner) and -o (oids) options to get plain text output without source schema and owner information.
Such output i filter through sed replacing the default entry
SET search_path = source_schema, pg_catalog;
with command to create the new schema and set the default search path to it
CREATE SCHEMA new_schema;
SET search_path = new_schema, pg_catalog;
After that I redirect the stream to psql logging to desired user and database to which copy of the schema will be transfered.
The final command to copy schema 'public' to schema '2016' in the same database 'b1' looks like this:
pg_dump -U postgres -Oo -n public -d b1 | sed 's/SET search_path = public, pg_catalog;/CREATE SCHEMA "2016";SET search_path = "2016", pg_catalog;/' | psql -U postgres -d b1
Please note that GRANTS are not transfered from the source schema to the new one.
In the case you are OK with only tables and columns (without constraints, keys etc.) this simple script could be helpful
