It might have transplant shock. You did it two days back to back it could be to much for this plant. How much of the old soil did you leave on the plant roots? You should leave 30% at least of the old soil so it's a smoother transition. It will probably perk back up if it's just shock. It could get worse before better just give it some time. Take care per usual.
If it was after then she definitely has transplant shock. Most of her leaves will yellow and then brown. You can trim them off as they turn brown. This will help her use the energy to recover and grow new leaves instead of putting energy into leaves that won't help her with photosynthesis.
Don't worry even if she loses all of her leaves she can bounce back.
When you repotted there were roots and a corm below the main stem of the plant. The stem is actually not even a stem like most other plants have. It is called a pseudostem- it is composed of leaf sheaths that overlap on top of each other to create a trunk like structure.
As long as the corm and roots were good she will be fine. The corm stores energy for new growth.
To help it bounce back quicker.
1. Provide plenty of light but no direct sun until it's starting to get new growth.
2. No fertilizer until she is showing new growth, fertilizer can burn roots if it's unused.
3. Keep her moist but don't waterlog the soil because she won't be growing actively so she will be susceptible to root rot.
Be very patient it may take a couple of months until you see new growth just continue with stable care. Once she recovers she will put out some new growth.
