Hi, I have created a profile long ago but did not get a chance to start work, now I am ready to start work on Upwork.
I am a top-rated freelancer on freelancer.com with rating 8.1/10 and among the top 2% freelancers in the world and have more than 320 projects on freelancer and out of then 214 are 5/5 rating.
Can I use that experience in my profile as well as messages to my clients in my proposal?

Hi Akhlaq,
You can include a link to your personal website to show clients your work samples in your proposals, but you cannot add external website links to your profile. Let us know if you have further questions. Thanks!

While you can not add external website links, I see no reason why your experience, whether it be your own clients you found independently, or employemtn experience, or on other platforms, can't be worked into the profile summary as well as in your messages to your clients. That said, clients probably don't care about number of projects or your score on a diffrerent platform. I would focus on your experience in the type of projects the clients listed in their job posting...regardless of where you gained that experience.
