No. If it is an arrest warrant, you can’t just appear and have it set aside yourself. You need to hire an attorney to attempt to have your Attorney argue for the Judge to set aside or convert the warrant.

Since you already have r a warrant you need to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney to try and get the warrant set aside and start fighting the case. I would also save any text, e-mail or social media communications you have had with the guy that fraudulently used the card.
