Help please! She has done great ever since i got her but now her leaves feel a little mushy and one set of leaves don’t stay up on their own. I’m new to plants and am not sure the best way to help her. Thank you!

overwatered.. :(

It looks like root rot from over watering which causes the plant to go mushy and slowly rot. Check the roots. Root rot is caused by overwatering or too much soil around the roots taking too long to dry out.

It is a self watering pot with a string, so maybe take the pot out of that too?

snake plants are succulants - having one in a self watering pot is essentially asking to kill your plant - as Sunny said, check roots to see if anything is still alive. if there is, repot into a good well draining, chunky succulant/cactus soil. make sure the pot has drainage, and is only 1-2 inches bigger than the root ball.  
if theres nothing alive, keep this info in mind if you ever give these guys a go again. good luck!!

Snake plants need to dry out completely between waterings or they will get root rot
