Insufficient light or water issues can cause several leaves to go limp at once. I recommend checking the soil. Remove the pot carefully and look at the moisture content. It may need water if the soil is dry. It’s getting too much water and/or insufficient light if the soil is wet.

I recommend removing all the moss off the soil. It holds in water preventing evaporation from the soil. That can led to root rot.

Thank you so much, she was like that when I bought her too I hope I can bring her back

She doesn’t look bad. No obvious yellowing or brown edges. Check the water content in the soil.
