1. This means moving your fingers along the keys, higher notes means going up.
2. I don't know yoga very well but I assume this means move into the next pose smoothly, implying you continue the moves without a stop.
3. Again, the ball is moving to that position, maybe it is rolling maybe it is not.
4. This is more slang, which means people turn up to the venue or place or something at 5pm. In Australia we also say rock up to mean the same thing, it's very informal use.
5. Here it means to finish something as in the tweetable, or event or speech.
Best.

This is when you straighten your back little by little until you're standing up. You're "rolling up" your spine.
