Comon Dub, you know that the best way for anyone to help is to see some pictures of the plant. I dont know anything about orchids, but I wish you the best.

That could happen for a few reasons dehydration or a massive temperature change also to help you further more i need
to know what species you have ex.vanda,dendrobium,phalaenopsis etc.... as they all have different care requierments
I also need to know how much do you water it, the light,soil.I will help your orchid recover
