It's embedded question structure.

Rule:

Subject + Verb (phrase) + Question word + Subject + Verb.

There "must be no" #auxiliary between "question word" and "the subject".

Did make means past simple.

How did he make an escape is actually correct not how he did make an escape. So option 'A' is wrong and C fits better?

E cant be the option because if we are using did then first form of the verb is required and made is the second form of make..!!

Made=make+did.

So, must be wave off.
So it should be like "We don't know how the thief made an escape".

When we use the interrogative word in the sentence then the sequence is like this: why/how + sub+ verb.

Also here is a reason that its a statement, and 'how did' giving interrogation composition.

I guess" wh question" as a statement should be followed by the subject.

Made = did + make. So there is no need of did and made at same time.

Why don't know here is the present tense so did is the past tense?

B should be right.

Because at starting we used don't.
