Only 'interactive' functions (also called "commands" in emacs-lisp
terminology) can be bound to keys.
(And only they can be called using M-x <fn-name> !)

So, you have to add the line 
	(interactive)
to your 'defun:

(defun
  toggle-wrap ()
   (interactive) ;;---- this is necessary
      (if (= truncate-lines nil)
        (setq truncate-lines 1))
      (if (> truncate-lines nil)
        (setq truncate-lines nil))
)
