/etc/network/interfaces.d is a directory; I suspect you mean you write
a configuration file in /etc/network/interfaces.d.

The first time you write a configuration file, say for a new interface,
you then must call "ifup <if>" where <if> is the name of the device.
If you have an existing device, you should run "ifdown <if>" before you
modify the configuration file.

I'm not sure what you mean here. You should only have one configuration
file in /etc/network/interfaces.d per interface, OR one stanza in
/etc/network/interfaces. The former is preferred these days.
