These sentences are from a short story. There is a writer who is not good enough at writing. He feels so bad after each failure. And now he finds an idea to write, but his friend warns him and reminds what happened in past.

Little red wagon – metaphorically, it means some kind of hobby or a pet project which a person has – obviously, in this case, the person's writing. The wheels have come off the wagon – so, there have been some problems
Things go south – a common expression meaning, this is all going wrong. Destruction is imminent
