It is not necessary to capitalize "mum" and "dad" when referring to your own parents. They are considered common nouns and should only be capitalized at the beginning of a sentence or when used in place of their name.

How do you say dad and mum in sign language?

With your use of the term "mum" I take it you're not American. Each country has its own sign language. If I give you the signs for "dad" and "mum" in American Sign Language it wouldn't be correct if you were to use them in England. If you were in England you would need the signs from British Sign Language (BSL). Resubmit your question specifying which country's sign language you need.
