It should be "What lies did the wolf tell ...", as you say.

"Why lies did the wolf tell ..." doesn't make any sense.

"Why did the wolf tell lies ..." would also be correct (obviously with a different meaning).

"grandmother" should be one word.

This one is also possible, but it has a different meaning:

'' Why lies did the wolf tell lies to Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother?''
