Answer:

a. I is going to the concert tonight  - syntax

b. The pig flew gracefully.  - no

c. To the movies the butterfly is going.  - syntax and semantics

d. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.  - no

e. Being able to fit size fourteen shoes is quite a feet. - semantic and syntax

Explanation:

a. I is going to the concert tonight  - syntax

In this sentence, it is possible to notice a syntactic error since the correct way to conjugate the verb to be for the first person is:  am instead of is. The correct way would be:

I am going to the concert tonight.

c. To the movies the butterfly is going.  - syntax and semantics

Here, it is noticeable that there is a syntax and also a semantic problem. In the first place, the form of the sentence is located on the contrary, that is to say the  object of the sentence is mention at the beginning before subject. In the second place, the semantic problem would include the idea that a butterfly could go to the movies, unless the sentence is talking about some cartoon character possibly.

e. Being able to fit size fourteen shoes is quite a feet. - semantic and syntax

In this expression, it is possible to recognize some syntactic and semantic confusions, since it is understood that the author intends to express his astonishment about the large size of footwear, the subject of the sentence is expressed as an action, and not as much as a subject itself. Therefore, it is a bit complicated to establish such a relationship.
