I went and water my moon cactus and now I think she is gonna die. Her stalk got more yellow today than yesterday. And it's mushy. Should I just take the moon off and try to grow that part?

No, repot in more dry soil or mix until the soil is just moist enough don’t water for 2 wks add perlite make sure your drainage is on point. I had this issue with one of my succulents and I saved it just in time.
