It's an expression that says you more or less looked wide eyed scared and frozen still as a deer would when caught on the road by a car at night.
The expression has come to mean" looking like you got caught with you hand in the cookie jar" That stunned, wide eyed look that says " You're busted"

It's an expression. It is the tendecy of deer that look into the headlights of an oncoming vehicle to be dazzled and freeze in place. That's why the "timid woodland creature" that hunters spend hours stalking and hunting can be killed by me driving a van at 55 mph, and blowing the horn!

This is a phrase that is used to describe someone who is startled and cannot react despite the fact they are facing impending doom.
