Am I missing something? I don't see where it says he's under arrest.

This title is a little misleading. No, Trump has not been arrested but he did appear in court. He is not in any form of jail (yet).

I am from Poland and didn't really follow the whole case. Can someone explain me why there is a thread that he will be arrested? It is hard to find the origin as the whole case exploded.

There's a LegalEagle video which sums it up: Trump's Bombshell Federal Document Indictment

Essentially,

Trump took classified information during his time as president and failed to return them
When asked to return them he failed to comply until forced
When forced to comply, he still kept many documents the government knew were missing and lied to the government and his lawyers indicating that they were returned
Was caught on tape admitting that he knew they were classified and that it was wrong for him to have them

The first bullet point apparently happens often (Biden, Pence, Hillary have all done similarly in the past). Trump is singular in that he didn't readily comply with the request for the return of documents and the consequent lies to the government (also illegal).

A little on a tangent here but...

I'm guessing News and WorldNews will, again and like in Reddit, be actually USANews. Let's see what the fediverse and instances do bring to that issue.

The fact is that the whole world is addicted to US news and everyone wants to know what happens to Trump. Like it or not, the US is still the country that everyone else looks to, even if it's just to shit on it.
