More information would help.
Where are you located?
Where is the tree located? Indoors or out?
How and how often are you watering?
The most likely answer is too much water. Check the soil and do not water if
it is already wet.

Scott:

Where do you live? Is the tree inside?

In the northern hemisphere, its spring (or getting there).
Chinese elms will lose last year's leaves as it comes time for
new leaves to appear. Before they go, they turn yellow, then
they drop.

Your tree most likely is fine.
