to "pick up" something is to grab and lift something. Because phones used to be attached to walls and machines(unlike cellphones), you would need to "pick up" a phone off the wall/machine to answer the phone. From this, pick up the phone means to answer the phone.
Of course, if you slapped someone's phone out of their hands while it was ringing, them saying "pick up the phone!!" would be referring to literally picking it up off of the floor, not answering it. Weird example, but the point is that context determines the meaning.
