The main error here is the main verb's tense.
Since "I got up" occurred after "the sun rose," the sentence should read like this:
<i>The sun had risen before I got up.</i>

The verb "got up" is considered a phrasal verb since it includes a verb form plus an adverb and they are used together frequently for a specific meaning, in this case "before I arose."
