It means that the alternator has failed- in the worst case. Other possibilities are that the cables connecting to the battery have come lose, or a fuse that controls the battery has blown.
Alternator is the first option to check. The vehicle will start till the time that you have juice in the battery, but the light means that the battery is not getting charged. Driving once started will take you the distance, but avoid using the horn, lights in the car... It can also mean you have a bad battery. It means you need to take it and get it checked. Check battery means check battery immediately if not sooner.
