Firstly, a diagnosis of the problem needs to be made before any rescue or remedy attempted.  Unfortunately, your photo isn’t clear enough to make a definitive diagnosis, so attached below are two super websites which you can use to guide you to the problem by comparing your plant with the pictures they show.
