Without a photo, I can only guess. Black leaves are leaves that have rotted due to overwatering, specifically the soil staying damp for too long. Succulents are especially susceptible to rot. They're desert plants, so their soil needs to completely dry out between waterings. They also need lots of direct sunlight, so three feet from an east-facing window is nowhere near enough. I'd recommend moving it to a south or west-facing window (AM sun is the weakest, PM sun is the strongest). Succulents also do best in terracotta pots, which are porous and allow the soil to dry out faster. If you can share photos of the black leaves or one showing the entire plant and soil, I can give you more specific feedback and advice for what to do ð
