It looks like the bottom and roots rotted. It’s unfortunate they’re sometimes sold with moss on top because it holds in too much moisture. Succulents need to be able to dry out.  
I’m not sure if yours will recover. Sometimes rot continues up the plant even after conditions are fixed. But I would still try personally. If you would like to, I would repot it in succulent soil and ditch the moss. You can try to prop it up so it stays in place until new roots form. I usually use wooden chopsticks that I’ve cleaned after eating takeout haha. Popsicle sticks could work too I bet. You can use some string around the plant and prop sticks if it’s really having trouble staying in place. Good luck!
