With a pick up game, you will likely be bringing your own character, with general games, check with the GM. Every game is different. Hopefully the game description will give guidance.

That would be something determined by the person running the game.  They may have you build the character in their game while they are with you, they may want you to build it ahead of time (you can create a game in which to create your own characters) on your own, or they may be using pregenerated characters that you choose from at game time.

How do I create a character on my own to bring with me?

Create a game of your own. Create a character in it. Use the Character Vault to store the character. If the GM has Vault Access available for the game, you can move it into that game. Due to the way Roll20 works, I believe the GM will need to grant you access to the character, unless you saved it with "All Players" control. More info here .
