The proverb 'Do not look where you fell but where you slipped' means always look at where you slipped in the first place. Then do everything in your power to avoid another slip and another fall.

So in other words, if you make a mistake, look at what made you make that mistake in the first place, and then try not to make the same mistake again.

What does expanding a proverb mean?

If you mean by adding more details then I strongly suggest you lease well alone, you may alter the whole meaning of the proverb. My suggestion is to fully understand what the writer is saying. There may be symbolic meanings in the work that need to be understood. Certain phrasings may need to be comprehended, for what was meant when the proverb was written may not mean the same thing today. Who is the proverb talking to and does it apply to you.
