What does this JavaScript do?

I'm trying to add a simple collapsing section to my website. I don't know JS at all yet. Does this script reference content only within the same file? That seems to be my problem, but I'm unable to confirm. The function seems to break when I move the CSS to the CSS file rather than having it in the same file as the script. I'm willing to figure out enough JS on my own to fix it, but I'd rather not go through all that effort if that's not even the problem to begin with.

It's from W3S

<script>
var coll = document.getElementsByClassName("collapsible");
var i;

for (i = 0; i < coll.length; i++) {
  coll[i].addEventListener("click", function() {
    this.classList.toggle("active");
    var content = this.nextElementSibling;
    if (content.style.maxHeight){
      content.style.maxHeight = null;
    } else {
      content.style.maxHeight = content.scrollHeight + "px";
    } 
  });
}
</script>

    var content = this.nextElementSibling;
    if (content.style.maxHeight){
      content.style.maxHeight = null;
    } else {
      content.style.maxHeight = content.scrollHeight + "px";
    } 
  });
}
</script>
