Yes, in this case, the word "roll" is used to mean "go", "leave" or "get away". This is a slang term that can be used whenever you are referring to leaving, but it also implies that you need to get out of somewhere or get to somewhere quickly. Ex: The store is closing in a few minutes. We'd better roll! Ex: School's out early! Let's roll. However, in the video, "roll" also describes them literally rolling down the hill to get away.
