Succulent leaves wrinkled in sun and havenโ€™t recovered :(

I have a moon silver succulent and I felt like it was too dim in the window because the neighbors house is a two story. So I tried putting it outside in the sun in a tiny glass greenhouse thing so birds wouldnโ€™t eat it. I gave it a little water from the bottom of the pot just before. When I went to check it a few hours later the surface of the leaves had become shriveled and i think it got way overheated in the greenhouse. :( I brought it in and put it in my bedroom to cool off and gave it more bottom watering in a cup for a minute and then back into its window. But I checked it again and it looks no better. Iโ€™m scared I mightโ€™ve done irreparable damage and itโ€™s going to die. :โ€™(
Itโ€™s my first succulent and Iโ€™ve wanted one for so long so Iโ€™m really trying to figure out what to do. I heard succulents were easy to care for desert plants and liked direct sunlight so I thought that would be the way to go but it got so hot in there since it got to like 100-102 degrees outside. Please help. :(

Donโ€™t worry, sometimes this happens with succulents. It should be completely fine, just keep it in the area where it was doing fine before and make sure not to under/overwater. Youโ€™re doing great! ๐Ÿ’—
@UberCoccoon22 I bottom watered for another 15 minutes to make sure it got deeply watered right now. They usually recover themselves after a bit? Thank you for your help and support :โ€™) โค๏ธ
@Jasper Yep, it should recover on its own, and no problem lol i get the panic
