What does |x| mean ?
|f(x)| = the absolute value of f(x)

You started by saying "show that the converse is false" but did say the converse of WHAT. I think you are trying to show that the converse of
"if lim f(x)= L then lim |f(x)|= |L|" is false.
The converse would be "if lim |f(x)|= |L|, then lim f(x)= L"
You can show that a general statement is false by showing one example in which it is false.
Gokul43201's question was not because he didn't know what | | meant. It was a hint that the difference between |L| and L is crucial!
