The creature sat upright and tugged at the shackles binding his ankles, Frankenstein uttered a piercing scream.
How do you rewite a fused sentence
Fused sentences and comma splices are just variations of the same thing -- run-on sentences. Just be sure you put a period at the end of each sentence (or ? or ! if needed) and a capital at the beginning!

That sounds like one sentence so how would I add a period
It's two sentences. Did you read the information at the link I sent?
The creature sat upright and tugged at the shackles binding his ankles
Frankenstein uttered a piercing scream
How will you make it clear that these are TWO sentences??
??
by adding a period behind ankles
Yes, that's the basic way.
You could also write
When the creature sat upright and tugged at the shackles binding his ankles, Frankenstein uttered a piercing scream.
By adding "when" and making the first clause subordinate, the relationship between the two sentences is clearer and it doesn't sound so choppy.
