A short story is about one incident. Novels are more complicated. One way to fill things out is with subplots. Perhaps there are additional conflicts besides the big main plot? Minor characters have issues with each other, or their pasts? A romance (or more than one) develops among the heroes (or the villains)? Someone with a totally different agenda crosses the path of the heroes and gets tangled up in the plot?
