That is probably more a question for the State Department. But I do not recommend trying to leave the country when there is a warrant out for your arrest. You should get an attorney immediately, and if you do not have a defense to the crime and want to plead guilty, you might be elegible for probation. (I assume you mean Class D felony?) You might be able to get permission to leave, although that certainly is not likely.
