Without testing your code, its safe to say that your new view is a Revit ElementId object, not a View object and thats the cause of the execption. You therefore need to get the View object before you can call the ApplyViewTemplateParameters() method. Try this on the problem line (and any other method that is a member of the View class):

doc.GetElement(NewView).ApplyViewTemplateParameters(Reference)
