If you are literally walking on broken glass especially with bare feet or very light footwear, you want to walk lightly or very carefully to avoid being cut. The expression means exactly that i.e. to proceed in a very careful fashion.
So if you're going to talk to someone about a delicate situation and are told that you're walking on broken glass, you need to choose your words wisely and be very careful about what and how you say it.

Go very cautiously, as the situation is fraught with danger and you must limit the harm that you do to yourself. In other words, carry out a damage limitation exercise.

I think it is a metaphor. It stands for going out on a limb or taking a chance and not knowing the outcome. For reaching out our puting your heart on your sleeve..............
