Question

Does it mean that a Muslim who is wearing long trousers will go to hell?

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

Garments like Pants, Kurta, Jubba(cloak) should be trimmed so that they end above the ankles. This ruling applies to males.
