The module does not know that the a, b, c, in sol[a_,b_,c_] are the same as as those in f[x] because they do not appear in the definition of sol. You have to make the connection explicitly. If you don't want to say f[x,a,b,c], an alternative is:
f[x_] := a*x^2 + b*x + c
soln[aa_, bb_, cc_] := Module[
{},
xsoln =
x /. Solve[(f[x] /. a -> aa /. b -> bb /. c -> cc) == 0, x]
];
soln[1, -3, 2]
{1, 2}
