This is not the simplest conversion due to different nature of two worlds..
You can try following workaround, no guarantee that it will work in your case:
3d dxf --> stl
http://dgntodwgdxf.videoformat-converter.com/convert-dxf-to-stl.html
stl --> step

If you get your files into step or parasolid format, Onshape will convert automatically during import.
