Lugia is in the Whirl Islands. On different sites there are route descriptions to the place where Lugia is. However some things have changed in Soul Silver. Besides the Silver Wing you are required to have a Tidal Bell as well. You can only get the bell after getting all 8 badges and beating the Kimono Girls.
Lugia will be in Whirl Islands. You will need to get the Silver Wing from the old man in Pewter City before you can encounter Lugia, however.
Lugia can be found in the League Champion- Steven map.
