Esri has a good help section on Working with group layers. Here are two approaches:

1) Select all the layers you want to group in the table of contents > right click selected layers > Group

2) Add a new group layer by right-clicking on the layers in the table of contents. Then simply drag and drop or add layers into the group. Make sure to select the "List by Drawing Order" tab to see the group layers.
