"I'm up and about" means you are up and out of bed, moving around, starting your day.
"Watch your mouth" means that you are swearing or insulting someone and they don't appreciate it.

Firstly, I would correct your question:
What DO these mean.
Up & about is an older saying...like I'm up (out of bed) and about...like about town. around. doing things.
Watch your mouth is not meant obviously as a literal "go to the mirror and watch your mouth."
It is said as more of a guidance or warning to be mindful of what your mouth DOES...the words coming from it.
(like swearing, or saying hurtful, bad things that may be regretted later.)

You honestly are clueless. I don't mean to be rude, but it's pretty obvious,
1)You're doing something, well it means a variety of things...
2)Swearing, Insults, Harassment, stuff like that you should be watching what you say, Think about what you're saying before you do it practically.

"I'm up and about" means your awake and handling what needs to be done in your day.
"Watch your mouth" is another way of saying 'be careful/watch what you say'.

first reference is typically used by people who were under the weather, recovering from surgery, etc. Now they are up (out of bed) and about (moving around).
second reference refers to the language used not being appropriate. Commonly found with children using swear or curse words.
