Yes, this does involve a double negative (nothing and can't), but that does not mean that it is incorrect. If I were to say "There is nothing you can't do", that would be an encouraging and positive statement that is equivalent in meaning to "You can do anything".

Examples of incorrect double negatives include "there isn't nothing" or "there ain't nothing" to mean "there is nothing", and "you can't do nothing" to mean "you can't do anything".

What is is wrong with the following sentence i didn't learn nothing?

Some will tell you that the double negative (didn't-- nothing) is wrong, but the truth is that the sentence is correct in certain contexts. There are some languages, French for example, where the double negative is an emphatic construction and not wrong. English is always growing and changing; perhaps the double negative will be considered formally correct one day.


Is there a double negative in I heard her say that she didn't do nothing wrong?

Yes there is. It's a very common form of speech, though. But stricly speaking it says here that she says 'she did not do nothing wrong', which is the same as her saying 'she did do something wrong'. That is because a double negative makes a positive.
