Made my way

Hello,

"The waiter looked at me suspiciously as I made my way upstairs. They were dark and airless. There was a foul and musty smell."

Somerset Maugham: The Moon and Sixpence

The writer is using "made my way" to imply that it is not easy to go upstairs. Am I correct?

It doesn't mean that necessarily. It could mean that, but it's just as likely that the person simply went up the stairs.
