Where are you trying to do this?

You can't use variables in HTML (e.g. in the editor for templates, posts, etc.), only in PHP or JS.

Because you have written $test as the variable, I guess you mean in PHP.

In which case you can use the do_shortcode function to parse the Types shortcode, i.e.

$test = do_shortcode( '[types field = 'add-title' id = '$current_page'] [/ types]' );

If you don't need formatted output from a Types field, you can simply use the standard get_post_meta to retrieve the raw value as stored in the database.
