What Friar Lawrence says will happen is exactly what does happen. "Presently though all thy veins shall run a cold and drowsy humour, for no pulse shall keep his native progress, but surcease; no warmth, no breath, shall testify thou livest, the roses in thy lips and cheeks shall fade to paly ashes; thy eyes' windows fall like death." Basically she is going to look like she is dead: no pulse, no breath, no colour, and no warmth, and she will stay like that for 42 hours.
A dagger. If the friar's potion doesn't work, she will stab herself.
She worries that their plan might not work. She worries that the friar might be trying to poison her.
i think it was a dagger in case the potion didn't work
Nope, 'cause she doesn't know about it herself. Juliet dumped the Nurse as an advisor after she counselled Juliet to commit bigamy. She did not let the Nurse in on the sleeping potion plan. If you had read or seen the play, you would probably remember that it was the Nurse that discovered the supposedly "dead" Juliet, and she was some upset about it.
The potion which Juliet was to take was not poison. They were knockout drops, designed to make her look dead long enough to get buried then wake up and be reunited with Romeo. If they didn't work, she was prepared to stab herself to death, as she ultimately did.
Juliet decides that if the potion does not work, she will take her own life by using Romeo's dagger.

that the potion wont work .
Juliet's second worry about taking the potion is that it might not work as intended and she will have to face marrying Paris.
Yes, Juliet's backup plan is to use a dagger if the potion doesn't work. She fears waking up in the tomb before Romeo arrives and chooses to have the dagger as a way to prevent herself from a painful death if the potion fails.

Juliet and Friar Lawrence made the plan to fake Juliet's death so she could runaway with Romeo. They had planed for her to take a vile that would make her cold and fall asleep for 48 hours. Friar Lawrence sent a note to Romeo telling of their plan so Romeo and Friar Lawrence could go retrieve Juliet once her funeral was over.

In the end of the scene, Friar Lawrence gives Romeo a plan to reunite with Juliet by faking his own death and then running away together once he is safely in Verona. This plan involves taking a potion that will make him appear dead for 42 hours and then sending a letter to inform Juliet of the situation.
Friar Laurence devises a plan for Juliet to fake her own death by taking a potion that will make her appear lifeless. Juliet is initially hesitant, fearing it may not work, or that she will wake up alone in the tomb and go mad. She is also concerned about the consequences if the plan fails, such as being buried alive or waking up to find herself in the tomb with no way to communicate with Romeo.
