I think you did overwater a bit. The yellow on the leaf isn’t that bad and you could probably save the leaf. If the yellow continues to get worse the overwatering might be more severe.

To help maybe in the future measure the amount of water you give (maybe around 1 cup) and bottom water it. Also giving it a bit more Sun could help.
