straighten (verb)
make it straight
unbend is ok, too. but untilt doesn’t apply to the situation you mentioned.
To tilt is to lean sideways, like The Leaning Tower of Pisa is tilting.

untilt the leaning tower of pisa …. yes, you can say this.
you don’t make the leaning tower of pisa straight. It’s already straight. It’s not bent. It’s just leaning or tilting. You can say “make the leaning tower of pisa stand straight up.
