Can annoy one tell me what I did wrong with this type of plant ? Sun? Cold? It happened as soon as I moved them to my room for the winter

They could be shocked, are you using succulent soil? And watering when it needs too? Oh! And how much sun does it get?🙂

Needs more light. You can tell by the legginess and how it’s leaning towards the window. It’s reaching for the light.

Also your soil mix looks more moist then your calathea in your other post. Succulents and cacti are more like desert plants so they like high light low water. Calathea are tropical plants. They like don’t like to completely dry out. And they live under a canopy in their natural environment so they like dappled light.
