You need a thief or a charachter with detect trap/disarm trap skills.
It's quite some time since I played BG1 so I don't really remember..

If you have a thief/ranger you should be a able to use the thieving
skills and activate the 'detect trap' function. (Remember as fast
as you perform any other action with the charachter, such as cast
spells or attack a monster, the detect trap skill stops working).
Move carefully over the ground and your thief will detect the traps
some distance away, depending on how good the charachter are at
detecting traps.
When you've found a trap (show up as red areas on the ground), activate
the thieving (steal/pick locks/pick pocket, same for all) action and point at the red area. The thief will now attempt to disarm the trap. If successfully
or not also depends on the skills in disarming traps. If the charachter
isn't very good at it, he/she might set off the trap accidentially.

Also, I know priests/mages sometimes has spells for detecting traps, but
I can't remember if they also can disarm traps.

Check thru your charachtersand see if any has thieving skills or spells for this. I wish you luck!
