I think it means to tell one of his RB/WR to go into motion.

Lifting his leg allows the center to know when to snap the ball. As the QB is in the shotgun formation, the center may not hear the snap count. Lifting his leg allows the center ( who should be looking between his legs) to know when to snap the ball.

its not alwasy, but if the fans are loud, and the gap between the center and QB is too much to distinguish an audible from the "hut", then the QB signals for the center to snap it. also, the center generally lifts up his head for the line to know hes gonna snap it

It's a signal to the center to snap the ball.

to let the center know he can snap whenever he is ready. at that time they are not snapping the ball on a certain count. like hut hut then snap. he is trying to catch the defense off guard so they cant predict the snap count.

generally thats the cue to snap it or sometimes it's a hand jerk. the center usually can't hear the qb to they have to use a visual cue. they tap the leg back to send a reciever or back in motion
