The phrase is "let sleeping dogs lie." It is the same as "if it isn't broken, don't fix it." These mean something to the effect of if something is serving its purpose, don't change it. If you wake up the sleeping dog, it might bite you. If you fix something that isn't broken, it might not work the same.
