Explanation

end = finish or cause (something) to finish: 'The lessons usually end at five o'clock but some teachers end their lessons early.'

end up = (1) be forced to do something (after everything else has failed): 'For months she refused to pay us any rent, so we ended up taking her to court.' (2) eventually find yourself in a particular place or condition: 'If you don't stop smoking, you'll end up in hospital.'
