The Manipulate needs a small correction. Try this:

Manipulate[Plot[{\[Phi][t,c],0},{t,-3,3},PlotStyle->{Blue,{Red,Thick}},PlotRange->{-3,3}],{{c,-1},-1,1}]

Works fine.
As to the second part, delete the semicolon after the plot expression.

Other than that, there seems to be nothing wrong with your graphs.

If you've "never worked with this program before", as you say, then you really have gone a long way.
