No sound did she made as she crept upstairs
No, it's not quite correct. It should be "No sound did she make..." - not "made".
When you invert, you have to add do-support. So your original sentence
She made no sound as she crept upstairs
becomes (prior to inversion)
She did make no sound as she crept upstairs
(The verb following the auxiliary "do"/"did" is untensed - "make", a bare infinitive - not "made".)
When inverted, that makes:
No sound did she make as she crept upstairs
