Philodendron are pretty resilient. I’d keep the care schedule as usual and see how she’s doing in a few months…

Should I cut the sun burnt leaves off

You don’t have to, but you can if you want to. I like to wait a little while and make sure that the plant uses the chlorophyll that still functions in the leaves as long as possible while it’s recovering.
