Overwatering often causes plants to have:

Yellow or brown leaves that have started to droop
Shedding leaves that are both new and old
Multiple brown spots and mold on them
Their soil seems to have a foul odor
Grey, foul smelling and mushy leaves
Cures

The main method of fixing a plant that has been overwatered is to ensure there are enough drainage holes in the pot to let excess water out of the soil. It is also recommend to trim off any leaves or roots that are dead, mushy, or wilting.
