One can try to fix it using a defintion of the form f[cc_?NumericQ, x1_?NumericQ, x2_?NumericQ, x3_?NumericQ, x5_?NumericQ] := .... but in any case this looks unlikely to work well. However, your problem is very easy to Solve in a much simpler way, since actually your differential equation can be solved exacly using DSolve. I am including below my modification of your code (in InputForm and with all outputs except the last one deleted) which differs from your original only in that I use DSolve instead of NDSolve, = instead of := in the defintion of f, and FindFit instead of NonLinearFit. Of course the latter also would work.
