Posted my answer for the same. Need your suggestion in my answer.

I think issue is in following module app/code/Vendor/ModuleName/etc/adminhtml/system.xml file. — Shashank Gupta, Jan 22 '18 at 7:59
did you face a similar issue and fixed it? The fix I answered is working but let me know if there is any other way to fix it. — Kalyan Chakravarthi V, Jan 22 '18 at 8:02
Could you please do one thing? rename vendor folder and update composer once. — Pramod Kharade, Jan 22 '18 at 8:05
yes, I got the similar issue , My case there is extra space issue , It is resolved by formatting system.xml file. — Shashank Gupta, Jan 22 '18 at 8:09
Checked for tabs in the modules system.xml and removed them. It worked for me. Thanks. @PramodKharade tried composer update but the same issue persists if I don't remove the tabs in system.xml. — Kalyan Chakravarthi V, Jan 22 '18 at 9:38

Two ways to fix this issue.

Fixed it by changing the line 96 in this file vendor/magento/module-config/Model/Config/Structure/Converter.php.

Actual Code: if ($children->length && trim($child->nodeValue, "\n ") === '') {

Corrected Code: if ($children->length && trim($child->nodeValue, "\n\t ") === '') {

Check if your XML file has any tab spacing within it. If so, remove the tab spacing and replace them with normal single spaces.
