Remove "Solutions =".  From the doc page of Evaluate:

"Evaluate only overrides HoldFirst, etc. attributes when it appears 
directly as the head of the function argument that would otherwise be held."

This will work:

Manipulate[
  Evaluate[Solutions =
    Table[{x[t], y[t]} /. Solution[[1]], {x0, -10, 10, 10}]], {a, -1,
   1}, {b, -1, 1}, {c, -1, 1}, {d, -1, 1}]
