Dwarf fortress stairs

Stairs allow creatures to travel across z-levels. They can be dug out or constructed. They need to be connected to other stairs of the appropriate type to function. Up stairs need to be built below down stairs. Caravan wagons can't travel across stairs -- you need ramps for those to be able to reach your trade depot. Stairs do not block creature nor fluid movement. Falling creatures ignore stairs and may get seriously hurt if the real ground is several z-levels below them. Floor hatches can stop both falling creatures and liquid. They can also be locked to keep those pesky crundles from interrupting everything your dwarves could possibly do. Down stairs reveal a tile directly beneath them.

These have nothing to do with the direction of travel, but only where they connect to and from. To understand how stairs work and don't work, first make sure you understand how z-layers work.
