I know this can be done by using sudo apt install indicator-multiload.

But I treid to use the Ubuntu Software wizzard. But I am not able to find this System load Indicator. I used different search phrases like 'indicator', 'load' or 'system'. But the System load Indicator cannot be found.

In Ubuntu 16.10 and later indicator-multiload is in the universe repository. Search the Software application for System load indicator. Alternatively you can also find the System load indicator by searching for the package's name (indicator-multiload). If System load indicator doesn't appear in the Ubuntu 16.10 Software app, this is a bug like this one: Missing package names in Ubuntu Software Center. It should be reported it as a new bug, since that bug was reported 4½ years ago and it happened when using a different application.

You an also download the .deb files for indicator-multiload for Ubuntu 16.10 manually.
