It means make something big out of something small or act disproportionately to a small issue. The first known usage was by scholar Nicholas Udall.
It means taking something that is not a big deal and turning it into a massive drama as though it was really important. Molehill -small unimportant. Mountain- big important
The idiom means to make a whole brouhaha out of something that's actually pretty trifling. It means "Don't make something unimportant seem like a big problem," e.g., someone who is worrying about every tiny thing that could go wrong during a practice game of football would be making a mountain out of a molehill.
