This is basically an idiom that is rarely used today, but it actually means: You (or someone else) have/has made a big mistake, that this mistake is almost impossible to fix or will take a long time to; and has inevitably created a pandora's box; and/or has opened up a can of worms.
In other words, it is basically like making a huge mistake that will take almost forever to clean up. (Spilled Milk is the metaphor for the mistake.) Similar to: drop the ball

(Ex. It's easier to spill a glass of milk, but not so easy to put back all of the milk into the glass. It's easier to create a mistake, not so easy to clean up the mess of the mistake overnight. etc)
In the 1960s, civil rights activists accidentally spilled the milk on the Black (African American) community. Now, many blacks and latino's in America are in poverty and are divided into rivalry street gangs to keep each other down.

Get the Spilled the Milkmug. The lord an savior Jesus H. Christ of all milk percentages. 3% and 2% are just chunky white shit, like yourself. Drink 1%, or else Satan will eat your children. God will hate you if you drink different milk. Rejoice

Get the 1% milkmug. Her tits strained against the fabric of her thin t-shirt that I quickly tented my trouser. I filed the image away for the next time I needed to milk the pepper.

Get the Mocolate Milkmug. (N.) A drink which is made by taking a cup and pouring 1/3 Big Red soda, 2/3 whole milk, and three sugar packets into it. It was made to create a substitute for the lack of strawberry milk in the Penland cafeteria of Baylor University.
I really want strawberry milk, but all I have is Big Red and Milk; I know I shall combine the two to make a Big Milk.
