The plant is sick. All that brown on the lower right, is an indication of fungus. Cacti and succulents should never be propagated in water. That will just rot them, as it's doing with your plant. The fungus is systemic, and it's most likely too late to save it.
When you get another cutting of something this succulent, just put the cut end on top of some sandy soil, and mist it every once in a while. That's your best bet.

@Jenny1234 As I say, by now, the fungus is a systemic problem. So, even if you cut off just to top portion and wash off all that white stuff, it still may not be healthy enough to root in the sandy soil. But, it's worth a shot. Good Luck.

@Jenny1234 That would be best. I was in the tropical plant business for 40 years, so I have lots of experience with all indoor plants. Feel free to ask me anything about them. I'll give you my best suggestions.
