Hi John,
It sounds like your water and soil became stagant. :( To
stop this from happening, you must change the water now and then.
Flush out the old water in the tray about once a week or more.
Perhaps a siphon would do the job? Or you could let the tray
dry out for one day before watering again (what I do).
BTW, this time of year most plants are going through winter, and
should be watered slightly less if indoors and some should not sit
in water at all during winter. This can also help prevent rot.

P.S. It was wise to re-plant.
