More details to this question:
I got a DUI which I won in the court because the officer failed to appear so it does not appear in my record yet my license was still suspended. I got stopped and got a ticket. I had to appear at court which I got the date wrong thinking it was a week from now but it was a week ago. Now, they went to my home and claimed they had an arrest warrant.

The bench-warrant will not go away and need to be taken care of immediately before you are arrested. I suggest that you consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney asap and get the warrant recalled.

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.
