It's a Biblical reference. Daniel was able to translate the mysterious writing that appeared on the king's wall as a portent. Therefore, the "handwriting on the wall" means a portent, a warning, something that you need to heed.

Writing on the wall is a premonition, portent, or clear indication, especially of failure or disaster
