The function of the word "up" in the phrase raise up your head is to add emphasis. Either version is correct, whether you say raise your head or raise up your head. These are both grammatical.

Which is correct I was you or I were you?

It depends on the context. 'I was you' could be correct: If you are writing a conditional sentence then "I were you" is correct. This is only for 'impossible conditions' where 'were' is used for all subjects eg If I were you I would save the money. If I were king I would raise the taxes. If he were president I would be the first lady.


Why do you use if I were and simple past in unreal conditionals?

I think that is not correct. For unreal conditions the form is like this:If + were + would + base verbEg. I were you I would buy a new car. If I were king I would raise the taxes.Notice the verb phrase in the would clause is would + base verb not past simple.
