When the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall it is a fault.?

Yes, when the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall along a fault, it is known as a reverse fault. Reverse faults are caused by compressional forces in the Earth's crust, leading to the hanging wall moving up and over the footwall.
