It looks like you might have got crown rot- when watering you need to take care that water doesn’t get down into the leaves and stem of the plant.

aw shit okay, i didn’t pay attention when misting. is there any way to save her? her roots also look dried and moldy

They do look very dry. I’m not sure if it will be able to come back from this with no leaves? I also would say don’t mist orchids and just focus on properly watering to a schedule
