Frankly, I don't register anything much upon reading that sentence. I'm not familiar with that expression. Can you give more context?

It should be "put in an appearance" (without "up").

Put in an appearance means to go to a social event or a meeting, usually for a short time.

e. g. I don't really want to go to the reception, but I'd better put in an appearance.
