Default help with roots

I got this noid and some of its roots were broken and it didn't look in too great of shape. It has now been a couple months and all has been good (I though) until last week when the leaves started getting soft/withering looking and one turned yellow (I just removed it). I took it out of the bark today to look at the roots and they don't look good. I don't think it was drying out enough, so I think I was overwatering it I was watering once a week and I thought they looked like they needed it, but the bottom of this plant's pot was still wet after days :/ Here's a picture of the roots, I have dried them out as they were wet... what should I do? I'm hoping I haven't killed my first orchid. This is my first year with orchids, so obviously still learning... I will also add, this plant was in bloom when I got it and the two flowers are still doing good and it is growing something else at the tip above the highest flower.

Here's a picture of the roots right after I took the plant out of the bark - as you can see the roots are wet. They are dry now, but obviously don't look like healthy roots.


And here's a picture of one of the flowers...
