More details to this question:
I knew I was going to be sentenced. I tried to be early at the court house but everything went bad for me. I didn't make it. I'm so afraid of getting myself more in trouble or the judge would punish me with more time.

You should hire a lawyer to go to court to recall the warrant. A lawyer can do this without you present if the underlying charge is a misdemeanor, so it is less risky for you. Then the lawyer can work out a new surrender date for you, hopefully with no additional punishment.
