Some carpet paddings have a webbing or moisture barrier coating on one side. If you're installing over wood floors the moisture barrier goes up to prevent spills from soaking into the padding. If installing over cement below ground level the moisture barrier goes down, against the concrete - to prevent condensation and ground seepage from penetrating through the pad.

The bumpy or textured side of the carpet padding should face up, as it provides more grip and helps keep the carpet in place.
