What happened? Did you forget how to use a dictionary?

Here are the definitions from www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary

fidget: act restlessly or nervously
pent-up: shut up, repressed
exuberance: the state of being exuberant
exuberant: very lively, happy, or energetic; filled with energy and enthusiasm

You could have looked those words up yourself.

So "fidget with pent-up exuberance" = "act restlessly with repressed feelings of energy and enthusiasm"
