You can make two different types of appeals, a collateral appeal and a direct appeal. A direct appeal is when a defendant petitions to the supreme court, and a collateral appeal is one made after conviction - usually based on new evidence.

How do cases move from the district courts to the us court appeals?
A petition to review the District Court case must be filed giving the legal reasoning and justifications for requesting an Appeals Court review. The Appeals Court will take the appeal under advisement and study the request, and the case, and make a determination if they will accept the case for review, or not. If the Appeals Court decides that there are merits to the petition/request then the case will be reviewed completely for legal and judicial correctness and sufficiency.
What happens in appeals court?
Once an appeal is filed and the court agrees to hear it, it is a waiting game. There is no testimony in an appeals case so you don't go back to court. The appeals process is there to make sure no errors were done courtside. It is there to review evidence, etc. and make sure the court proceedings were done appropriately and to all legal specifications. It does not find guilt or innocence. If the appeals court finds something wrong the case will be thrown out and you can still be charged again. If they find all is well, the conviction will stick.

How do you appeal a decision made by the court of appeals for 'reverse and remand'?
If you mean the federal Court of Appeals, you file a petition for Writ of Certiorari with the Clerk of the Supreme Court of the United States of America pursuant to the rules of the Supreme Court. A court of appeals decision to "reverse and remand" is no different than any other ruling that an appellate court may make; therefore it may be appealed immediately. In fact, virtually every case that is reversed is remanded to the lower court for further action consistent with the ruling of the appellate court. The only time a reversed case is not remanded is when the appellate court itself enters judgment for the other party. The fact that a case is remanded to the lower court does not mean that the parties must return to the lower court first. If you mean a state court of appeals, the same thing most likely holds true; however with 50 different states, each allowed to have its own appellate rules of appellate procedure, you should look to that particicular state court's rules of procedure.
