Can this plant be saved?

#Blueberry When I first got my blueberry plant from the nursery, I kept it indoors for a few few days and slowly acclimated it to the sun. As soon as the weather warmed up and all of my plants seemed to be doing fine outdoors, I left the blueberry bush outside.

Just today, I noticed that the stem has turned brown, along with some of the branches and leaves are shriveling up. I did a scratch and bend test and the stem feels like it would snap, and I'm not seeing green when I scratch. However, when I cut a dead branch, there was a tiny bit of green inside.

The dirt was never soggy, but it's possible I overwatered it or maybe the pot is too small? I also had some wild chips on the top that I just removed now. The blueberry bush is in the corner and gets direct sunlight, but less than the other plants.

What did I do wrong and how can I save this blueberry bush? I'm completely new to gardening.
Im a newbie on blueberries - mine has done very little in weeks so Iโ€™m interested to see what you get back!
