Came home from work and my pothos is progressively getting worse. I’ve never seen this happen before.. is it root rot? I’m losing my mind because I repotting this girl and I’ve had her for years and it’s slowly dying. Please help 🙁
I think your pot is too big. Pothos like to be rootbound.

The leaves in the first few pictures look like they got frozen. Is that a possibility?

Agree it looks like cold damage, so is there any way being on the floor by that door it gets colder overnight than you realize? I would move it just to be safe.
Also, since I see yellow (*not* cold damage) there might be something else going on. I would take an insurance cutting from the healthy part that’s left and get it rooting in water just in case
Cold damage. Cut any vines that touch the floor. Move the plant to a warmer room.
If you can’t relocate the pothos, at least get it off the floor. An inexpensive plant caddy would lift it enough to protect the roots. Reduce watering schedule. Cold temps + damp soil = root rot
