The Android publishing guide explains this step by step. You must sign your app with your private key and generate the signed .apk file, as explained in the linked guide.

The easiest way is to use Eclipse to sign your application. During the signing process you will be prompted to create a password. Make sure you write this down as you will need this to sign updates to your app. Once you've signed your APK, sign into the Android market (http://market.android.com/publish) and upload your binary.

Here's information on signing http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html#releasemode

Also, DO NOT lose the keystore file you need to create when signing your app. Without the original keystore file you will not be able to update your app to a newer version, because you won't be able to upload a newer version if it was not signed with the same certificate.
