Normally, one does not create database objects inside stored procedures. But on the rare occasion that you do have this requirement, you can use the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE command to run the CREATE DATABASE LINK command similar to the following: 

BEGIN
   EXEC IMMED 'create database link db_link connect to foo identified
 by bar using ''tns_entry''';
END;
