Those leaves are likely to die. Is that a prayer plant or calathea? Looks overwatered or stressed in some way. That’s a super small pot for a prayer plant. If it has any type of tubers underneath it can throw up new leaves, but if not it’s likely a dead plant.

The root ball is small. It’s a red prayer plant

I’d let it dry out and give it bright indirect light and see what happens. Only water when the top layer is moist and slightly dry.

Yes…. Stop watering and give plenty of light
