Seems like an overwatering issue. Might have root rot. What potting medium is this in? Dieffenbachia plants prefer well draining soil, they’re a tropical plant and susceptible to easily getting waterlogged roots.

I would separate pups if they are big enough

Overwatering change to dry soil to give it a break
