there are various problems with your code, here is something that should
work, although I'm not sure whether it is what you intended:

sol = First[{i[t], \[Theta][t]} /.
   DSolve[{\[Theta]'[t] == k i[t],
     i'[t] == -k \[Theta][t] - r i[t] + 10,
     i[0] == 0, \[Theta][0] == 0}, {i, \[Theta]}, t]]

Manipulate[
 Row[Table[
   ParametricPlot[Evaluate[sol /. {k -> kk}], {t, 0, n},
    PlotRange -> {{-10, 10}, {-1, 15}}, Frame -> True,
    ImageSize -> 150, Axes -> False],
   {r, 1, 3}
   ]],
 {n, 0.01, 7}, {kk, 0.1, 10}
 ]

some of the things I changed:
1) k had no value, so I inserted one with a secon manipulate variable
2) the DSolve was called way too often...
3) For does not return anything, and that is not the most important
reason to avoid it in Mathematica.
4) parametertic plot didn't like to plot from t=0 to 0, so I changed the
minimal n value to 0.01.
