What does this mean?

So I had watered Foxxy a week ago on Sunday for the first time since I got it, and now it has these dark spots and yellowish leaves at the base. Is this normal? If not is there a way I could save it? Please let me know, this is my first plant.
2ft to light, indirect
6” pot with drainage
Last watered 1 week ago
I think it sounds like it isn’t your fault. It seems to me that there’s always a rough period when a plant goes from one location to another where it’s fighting for its life. I’d say just leave it alone for a bit, make sure not to water till the soil is truly dry at the bottom, no matter what the app says, and see how it fares. Remember that over-watering is far more often more fatal than under-watering. Also, if you lose some leaves that’s ok. New ones that are used to the current area will grow back.
@PlantLord I know this is probably a really dumb question but with the way my plant pot is I can’t fully tell if it’s dry at the bottom, is there any way I’d be able to tell in a different way? I mean I can tell as of today that it’s dry not because the top is still wet looking, but still just wondering. Thank you!
