What you have described is a gravity well. If instead you place all the objects in the centre of the fabric and raise the central point all the objects will move away from each other. So in this case you will have a dark energy hill.

Which it isn't. Cosmologists merely use an analogy relating spacetime to a fabric in order to more easily describe the curving of spacetime. But in no real sense is the universe a fabric of any kind.
