UPDATE:  
Well, it’s been over a week and things haven’t changed much. I did some research and came up with a plan. As we can see my plant is not doing so great. As it was coming up time to fertilize my plant i instead reported it from regular potting soil to succulent soil to help with the drainage so hopefully I can get rid of the root rot. As I was reporting it I took away all the rotten root unfortunately there was not much to work with. I then rinsed the remaining roots with 3% hydrogen peroxide as I learned that can help get rid of the bacteria killing the roots. Hopefully in my warm room with the grow light it will heal and get better. Lmk if you think this will help!

I have learned succulent do best in front of window with good direct sunlight.

Lack of light is what leads to root rot, because without energy, it can’t drink up the water, so water sits for way too long. So everything you did is excellent, but rot will return if you don’t change its lighting conditions.
