Works for me in emacs -Q, except that you misspelled ‘forward’.

Also, org-mode already binds M-S-<up> and M-S-<down> to commands that
work the same way as org-drag-line-* unless you are in a table or on a
clock timestamp. It’s likely that you will want to drag a line more
than once in a row, so a repeatable binding (a key that you can hold
down) is better than a long sequence such as C-t l f.
