Seems like you have root rot, you’ll need to repot the plant and get rid of all mushy and black roots/cut away all yellowing leaves as well in order for new growth to come in, since they won’t be able to get saved now. After you get rid of all mushy roots/stems also spray the roots with a diluted solution of hydrogen peroxide. Hope this helps!

Yes perfect advice ^^  
To prevent this from happening again use an aroid soil mix. You can make your own or buy a bag off Amazon

I also agree w the last two comments. My monstera loves soil, orchid bark, poss, perlite and worm castings mix. Less soil than everything else listed. Dnt be afraid of the moss. U would think it retains water but it doesn’t. It helps make air pockets for the roots. And more than likely u will also have to downsize ur pot depending how much roots u have lost
