Where can I find a reference for the general Arzela Ascoli theorem for the space $C(X,Y)$. $X$ anything, but a $Y$ Banach space?

For compact metric $X$ and complete metric $Y$ you can find it as Theorem 1.5.11 in

Abraham, Ralph, Jerrold E. Marsden, and Tudor Ratiu. Manifolds, tensor analysis, and applications. Vol. 75. Springer Science & Business Media, 2012.

Also have a look at Theorem 3.4.20 in

Engelking, Ryszard. "General topology." Sigma series in pure mathematics 6 (1989).

This variant is valid for arbitrary $k$-spaces $X$ and regular spaces $Y$. However, the topology on the set $C(X,Y)$ of continuous functions $X \to Y$ is the compact-open topology. For compact $X$ and metric $Y$ this topology agrees with usual metric topology induced by the $\sup$-metric.
