I’m not 100% sure but it does look like it could be cold damage. If the roots are okay, then it’s probably salvageable! Keep it in a warm spot and make sure to let it dry out 75% or maybe even 90% in between waterings. If any of the leaves turn mushy or start to rot, cut them off, but otherwise wait a couple weeks to assess the plant before pruning it back further. If it continues to decline, maybe check the roots.
