So what exactly is the question? Firstly we have no idea what you've already done in VB6. Secondly we have no idea what you can and can't do in VB.NET. The steps for designing an application are universal. Firstly you have to determine what entities you're going to need, e.g. Suppliers, Stock Items, Transactions, etc., etc., etc. You then need to design your database around those entities. Etc., etc., etc.
If you don't know how to design an application then I suggest that you ask how to design an application. If you can design an application but you need to know how to do specific things in VB.NET then you need to ask about those specific things. Such a general question could be answered in any number of ways, most of them quite possibly useless to you and thus a waste of time for everyone.
Well we can't just explain everything about VB.NET to you here in this one thread. If you have specific questions then you need to ask those specific questions. I would suggest that you put your POS application aside for the moment and work through some VB.NET tutorials to learn the basics. Once you have that happening then it's time to think about creating a large scale application. If you don't do that I can pretty much guarantee that the code you write will be garbage. I look back at the things that I did when I was even moderately experienced and I blush. If you try to start from scratch with something that large scale then you will have a nightmare maintaining it in the future because you'll realise that almost everything you did should have been done differently.
So are you actually saying you want others to contribute to the work to produce the application, rather than tell you how and you do all the work yourself?
There is already a lot of POS opensource projects out there you can jump into.
So you have an idea of the skill level, a basic level pos system as the one you referenced earlier is usually giving as a programming project for a lot of people in college level programming classes. If you can do that you show that you know the basics of design and databases, and that you can design a program.
