I discovered the
problem. The pot wasn't draining properly. So, my azalea has been getting
drowned. I got as much of the damp soil off as I felt safe and repotted it.

It's not looking any better today.

What should I do? Leave it in it's new pot and water well? Don't water
much?

Any advice on how to give it the best chance for survival is appreciated.

If your azalea has root rot, it is terminal and can not be stopped.
Let's assume that your azalea will be OK. Planting in an acidic soil
high in sphaghnum peat moss is ideal. However repeated transplanting is
not a good idea. I would try to nurse it back to health. Only water
when the soil is getting dry, then water thoroughly. Make sure that the
drain is open. Twice a year sprinkle a teaspoon of powdered sulfur on
the soil before watering. This will help increase the acidity slightly.

You might try putting coffee grounds on the soil. It will also help
increase acidity.
