Are you sure the DOS port of Emacs supports Ctrl-Up?  If it
doesn't have special support for these keys, then what you see
makes perfect sense to me: those keys return 2 bytes when read:
the first byte is 0 and the second is the key scan code.  If
Emacs only sees the first 0, then it thinks you typed a key
whose code is ASCII 0, which is Ctrl-SPACE or Ctrl-@.
