Is there something I can do to make it if a player is holding a button he charges up his sword then releases it for a spin attack?

Using the mouse procs might work for this. Currently there's no way to detect a key-down and key-up separately.

Actually, it would be possible, but with a somewhat hacky method...
client
  Center()
    mob.Charge()

mob
  var/action = ""
  var/charge = 0
  proc
    actionloop()
      if(!action)
        if(charge)
          icon_state = ""
          ChargedAttack()
      else
        if(action == "Charge")
          icon_state = "Charge"
        action = ""
      spawn(5) actionloop()
    Charge()
      if(!action)
        action = "Charge"
        charge++
    ChargedAttack()
      ohearers(src) << "[src] uses a charged attack!"
      src << "You use a charged attack!"
      for(var/mob/M in oview(src,1))
        if(charge)
          charge--
          del(M)
