"What's going wrong?" was used in at least one of the PC Games I played as verbal reaction on taking damage.

"What's going forth" would be even rarer. "What's going fourth" would be possible.

What's going up?

well, I here now and then with "What's going up on that billboard?" etc... when they mean to erect or to hang something.

That's odd

'Up', 'left' and 'right' would be somewhat stilted uses in connection with the phrase 'what's going- ' , save for certain limited circumstances, such as traffic streams, or hot air ballooning, or the use of dumb waiters.

As I said, somewhat 'limited' circumstances, and believe me, it still sounds stilted- like a bilingual Oportan translating into English from Farsi using a Portuguese-Farsi dictionary and a Collins-Robert grammar guide.
