It means exactly what it says. A warrant for your arrest has been issued by a judge and it has been assigned to an officer to serve on you and take you into custody. If you have knowledge that the ploice ARE holding a warrant for you, it is probably a good idea if you voluntarily turned yourself in. It looks 'better' to the court, if you do.

When is a person under arrest?
A person is "under arrest" when a police officer charges them with a crime and chooses to take them to the police station to be processed for it. For example, if someone commits a crime, they are technically under arrest when a police officer witnesses the crime or has a warrant for the arrest and tells the criminal "You are under arrest." Typical procedure after this is to put handcuffs on the criminal and read them their Miranda rights (you have the right to remain silent etc). Handcuffs alone do not mean arrest, but i'm pretty sure its illegal for a police officer to handcuff someone without grounds to arrest them. As a side note, the person doing the arrest does not have to be a sworn in police officer. In Citizen's arrest cases, anyone with arresting powers like a bounty hunter can also place someone under arrest.
