What does it mean to surrender? Am I promising to be a good boy? Do I get to leave without going to jail because I’ve paid bail already?

In short, when you are charge with a crime you have a contest of wills: The government vs You.

You can surrender ie give up…at which point you begin the formal legal process for whatever criminal action you were charged with.
