What the gap up is
Price opened above the previous candle's high. It jumped up between the two candles.
Imagine a shop that shuts at night. While it is closed, everyone hears great news about a toy, so when the shop opens, the very first price is already above anything paid the day before. On a chart, a candle that starts above the top of the candle before it is called a gap up.
