"but go out she did"
Her mother made her come back inside for dinner, and for lunch; and Coraline had to make sure she dressed up warm before she went out, for it was a very cold summer that year; but go out she did, exploring, every day until the day it rained, when Coraline had to stay inside.
In the above sentece, what do we call such a grammatical occurrence? Can it simply be replaced by but she went out anyway ?

This is past tense, essentially: "but she went out." For emphasis, this can be, instead: "but she did go out." And for even more emphasis, you can invert the words, so that "go out" comes first, giving it emphasis: "but go out she did."
