I can see this going a few ways.

Elsa was mentally unstable and caused havoc in the Enchanted Forest and Rumplestiltskin was asked to get rid of her, so he put her in that urn.

Elsa was mentally unstable and was hurting people, maybe she even killed her sister Anna, and then asked Rumple to seal her into the jar.

Or the one I like most, which is a combination of Frozen and The Snow Queen. Elsa discovers her powers, plays around with it too much and accidentally kills her sister Anna. She goes to live in her castle at the top of the mountain while the kingdom is in eternal winter. Many years pass and she has become a cold hearted Snow Queen. She then sees (Gerda) and (Kai), and she wants (Kai) as her lover. So she freezes his heart and takes him with her. (Gerda) however goes out to save him by making a deal with Rumple. She just has to seal Elsa into the urn and give it to Rumple who in exchange unfreezes Kai's heart.
