That's a key that is difficult to bind (the arrow keys usually are). 
Here's how I'd do it in your case: first, within mutt, type:

     :exec what-key

Then press control-up, and see what happens. You should see something 
like this (this is, obviously, for ctrl-L):

     Char = ^L, Octal = 14, Decimal = 12

(You can press ctrl-G to exit this). Anyway, now you can bind things 
using the raw key value:

     bind index \014 command

However, you should make sure that control-up actually generates a 
different key code from <up>. It may not. :(
