Make sure to not give these too much direct sunlight. They usually look like this when they’re waiting to get sunlight during the day (indirect) and then it will stand up at night. Give it some time and it should be fine! it could be due to being repotted during winter.

Also, these plants are so dramatic lol so don’t be shocked if it seems a little sad until you find the perfect spot for it. Happens to everyone lol

Yeah, looks like transplant shock. Same thing happened to my lemon lime maranta when I first repot it. Just leave it somewhere with plenty of indirect light and let it do its thing. Run a humidifier if you have one. Water with distilled, rain or tap water treated with aquarium conditioner. It should bounce back in 2 - 3 weeks. Good luck!
