The same statements work for other start and end values, but not for 0 and 1056.

That's because there's many "0"s in them there numbers, so the range immediately starts again (and doesn't get stopped any more). Try to anchor the "0":
Code:
awk -v s="$start" -v e="$end" '$0~"^"s,$0~e' file
0
1056

Your file doesn't have 1056 lines. RavinderSingh13's proposal lists until EOF or line 1056, whatever it reaches first.

GLAM2FORMAT(1)							   glam2 Manual 						    GLAM2FORMAT(1)

NAME
glam2format - converts GLAM2 motifs to FASTA or MSF format SYNOPSIS
glam2format [options] my_format my_motif.glam2 Formats: fasta, msf. DESCRIPTION
glam2format reads in a motif found by glam2, and writes it in a standard alignment format (FASTA-with-gaps or MSF). This enables the alignment to be passed to third-party software, including graphical visualization tools such as Kalignvu, Boxshade, and WebLogo. On the other hand, not all the motif information is preserved: in particular, the key positions are lost. Only the top motif in glam2 output is converted. OPTIONS (DEFAULT SETTINGS) -o Output file (stdout). -c Make a compact alignment. By default, residues that are inserted between key positions are written as unaligned with each other. This best reflects glam2's intention, but it can make the alignment large and full of gaps. With -c, inserted residues are written as arbitrarily aligned with each other, just as they appear in the glam2 output. -f Sequence file to make a "global" alignment by adding flanking sequences from the original FASTA-format sequence file. The flanking sequences will be written as either unaligned with each other or arbitrarily aligned, depending on the -c option. The sequences should have unique names and their order should be unchanged. SEE ALSO
