Most do not, but Io, one of Jupiter's four major moons, is covered in them. Io is the most volcanically active object in the solar system. Titan, Saturn's largest moon, may have cryolcanoes, which erupt very cold fluids.

The moon does have volcanoes, but it does not have any active volcanoes, as lunar volcanism is thought to have ended between 1.5 billion and 3 billion years ago, but there is some evidence points to volcanic activity as recently as 2.5 million years ago.

Was a volcano ever observed erupting on a distant planet?

There were active volcanoes observed on Io (pronounced 'eye-o'), which is one of the larger moons of Jupiter. It orbits close to the planet, so the crust of the moon expands and contracts under the pull, making the surface very susceptible to volcanic activity. Volcanoes on mars have occurred in the past, but these are now extinct. A lot of volcanic activity has occured on planet Venus in the past, but may longer be taking place.
