"Put up the window" I read it somewhere. Could you please tell me what does it mean?

'I read it somewhere' is not good enough, tufguy.

You should know by now that we need context to give you a useful answer to questions like this.

Sorry I don't remember the context. I thought it was like wind up the window.
 
We only "wind up the window" in a car. These days, when most cars have electric windows, even that phrase is a little outdated. I'd just say "close the window" whether I was talking about a car window or the window in a room.
