My monstera is drooping \& with yellowing leaves after potting from water to soil! I haven’t watered it since, should I water it?

If the soil is dry then yes

When you go from water to soil you need to keep it damp for a few weeks. It's also stressed if you recently potted it. Cut off the yellow leaf and be patient (i know it's easier said then done lol)

Actually it looks like a leaf if forming at the bottom.

There’s a leaf forming yes!! The stem on the left looks way more droopy than the one on the right, which is why I’m confused about water content, haven’t watered it since potting 6 days ago so I might sprinkle a little but worried about overwatering it

Oh wow how cute! I didn't see that one. I see the light green on the stem that i think will become a new leaf. Anyway, i would water it. It's been growing in water so its used to the water. I'm assuming you have it in a chunky soil so it will be ok if you water.
