You have an 'arrest' warrant, you can guess what that means. To fix this, you go back to court, and request the warrant be recalled, probably incurring a fine, and you then deal with the charges like you were supposed to. If you are ready to hire an attorney to help you and do this, and this is in SoCal, feel free to contact me.

I don't believe you. You must have showed up to court after it was closed, or showed up several days late.
When a defendant is late, and a warrant has been issued, the court usually recalls the warrant and either holds the hearing, or reschedules it.
