Morphology

fuck + shit + up

The overall meaning is partly derivable: in colloquial use 'fuck' can mean 'to ruin or damage', 'up' marks a resultative/completive sense, and 'shit' functions as an intensifying object, so a learner who knows these senses could infer 'to severely mess something up'. However, the usage is slang/vulgar and relies on grammaticalized, idiomatic uses of 'fuck' and the particle 'up' that are not fully predictable without exposure, so it is not fully transparent.

Etymology

Fuck shit up is a crude phrase that creates a violent image: imagine someone smashing things and leaving a huge mess. The words fuck and shit are strong swear words used to make the action more extreme, and up shows it is done completely, so the phrase means 'to destroy or ruin something'.
