Help me revive my repotted wild lantana!!

I had some lantana growing behind my house and decided to try growing it in a pot to try and attract butterflies to the property since my mom really wanted a little patio butterfly garden, but it isn’t doing so great in the pot. Here’s how it looks now vs. how it looked a week ago.

I’m new to growing plants but have a decent working knowledge. I noticed when I was digging it up that the roots seem like they’re doing an underground runner thing, so I wonder if the pot was too crowded or something. The pot is 1 ft, plastic, with drainage and there are multiple plants in one pot. They grew close together in the wild so I figured it was okay.

Planta said to place them full sun so I placed them facing south, but only after a day or so they started to wilt. At first I thought they were going into shock from the repotting, but I’m wondering if they got too much sun.

It rained 2 inches over the weekend and that did nothing to help the withered parts of the plant. In fact, I think it made it worse. I moved it underneath the roof of my patio to give it some protection today, so hopefully that will give it some breathing room to recover.

Is my plant oversunned or overwatered? Please let me know what else I can do to save this plant and make my mom happy :(

Maybe too much sun? That's how my mint looks after a sun crisp. If it was from a shaded area it may have been too much

I moved it into a shadier spot on my patio. I’ll post an update in a few days. Thanks!
