We know that an AP is of the form $a,a+d,a+2d...a+(n-1)d$ where,
$a$ is the first term and $d$ is the common difference.

A decreasing AP is one where $d<0$ so the progressing terms decrease. An example would be $10,9,8...$

Given how you’ve capitalized the words in the title of your question, I’m wondering whether you are interpreting the term “decreasing arithmetic progression” as

(decreasing arithmetic) progression,

as in “a progression that is somehow made of this thing called ‘decreasing arithmetic’,” rather than the intended

decreasing (arithmetic progression),

as in “an arithmetic progression that’s decreasing.”

A decreasing arithmetic progression is an arithmetic progression - a series of numbers where going from one number to the next changes the value by some fixed amount - that happens to be a decreasing sequence (one where each term is smaller than the previous one). So, for example, the sequence

$$137, 134, 131, 128, 125, 122, ...$$

would be a decreasing arithmetic progression, as it’s an arithmetic progression (each term is three less than the previous one) and it’s a decreasing sequence (the values get smaller over time).
