}
catch (Exception exception)

You are on the correct path, but the error indicates that you have not provided the Metadata fields for the component that you are trying to create.

This line is incorrect:

Metadata = schemaData.Metadata

It should pretty much, like that one where you create the content fields:

Metadata = String.Format("<Metadata xmlns=\"{0}\">{1}</Metadata>",schemaData.NamespaceUri, "YOUR METADATA XML")
