Could someone please explain how would this collapse an economy? I know that with more emission, then the currency is worth less, but how could secretly bringing more currency impact it? How would you detect it and what would be the consequences? I don't know much about economy sorry

The idea is that more fake money makes the real money worth less and reduces consumer confidence in the money. Just like how money is taken out of circulation often to keep the value up, the thought was a lot of money put into circulation with nothing coming out would be effective. It turns out, the most effective move would've just been to put liz truss in as PM.
