The problem is that you’re under watering it, they are not drought tolerant plants.

How often should I be watering when the top soil is dry?

Yes, you can tell this when you stick your pointing finger into the soil all the way to the second knuckle of your pointing finger feels dry.

I already put mine outside, and it’s cold.

Holding out well in Texas

But make sure to bring it in when it gets too cold so it doesn’t die, because they can live for many years indoors l, instead of outdoors were they will die. I have had a poinsettia indoors for years and is as healthy as ever.
