It's a saying. An example might be:
I tell you that I am not mad at you, but then I stomp off with my arms folded and an angry look on my face.
I said I was not mad at you, but my actions prove otherwise.

The original idiom is, "Actions speak louder than words". Your question is just a variation of the same phrase.
It means that your actions (what you do) communicate more clearly than your words (what you say). It is as if they were louder than words. "Actions speak louder than words" means that if you want people to believe your words, you should "speak" with your actions.
Example: "Don't tell me how to do this; show me! Actions speak louder than words."

Words are just that spoken words.... Action is motion which speaks louder because you have done something not just said you were going to do something

A man tells a woman "I love you," every day. Yet he never helps her with anything around the house. He is rude to her and treats her in a condescending manner. He drinks and swears and calls her names.
A man rarely tells a woman "I love you." Yet he brings her flowers on occasion, for no reason. He helps with all of the chores. He is kind and gentle and tender towards her. He never lies or cheats on her. He holds her hand, opens doors, and makes her feel safe & secure.
Get the idea?

words are just words. you can tell someone your going to do something, but until that something happens, it just words.
action speaks louder than words....you tell someone you are going to do something and do it, the action gets it done.

Duh! When you are about to pick up a pencil you don't just say "here is your pencil" and walk away and then expect to be told back "thank you! You are so nice" You have to pick up the pencil (hence the action part) and then they will realize how caring you are

Words = talk the talk
Action = Walk the walk

It's like the saying, "Talk is cheap."
It costs NOTHING to say something.
DOING something takes effort.
