Call the court and see if they will let you pay the bond to get the warrant lifted. If they won't, then you may be able to hire an attorney to lift the warrant for you.

Do you know what the warrant is for? Your best course of action is to hire an attorney to help you take care of it. If you are stopped by the police, you can be arrested and spend time in jail until you are taken before a judge, which can take days and sometimes weeks.

When you have a warrant, turn yourself into the court that issued the warrant. Explain to the court what happened and you have a chance of not going to jail.

Hire a lawyer to recall it. A lawyer can do this without you present if it is a misdemeanor.

Go to the court that issued the warrant and tell them you want to surrender. Better still, contact the lawyer that was representing you on the original case.
