So I've had this mango sapling for arround three months and when autumn started here in Buenos Aires, Argentina it started decaying just as you are going to see in my photos. It grew for arround one month and it looked really healthy but nowdays it's leaves are becoming brown and I don't know what else to do. It was outside but the cold weather as I read online makes everything worse so now it's inside my house and 1.5m away from a window.
Please HELP!

overwatered, it's dying of root rot. You need to re-pot it into some looser potting soil with pearlite for additional aeration and in a pot with good drainage. Right now you have an anaerobic zone that is allowing root rot bacteria to thrive and destroy your plant's roots.

What is your drainage look like? are there holes in the bottom of the pot? When you moved it indoors, did you stop up the drain holes or something else to prevent it getting your floors wet?

Definitely re-pot it. When you do, check the roots. Cut out anything slimy. It sounds like your pot has good drainage. So that leaves your soil. Well draining soil should be ok in a pot that size. But if mango's handle transplanting/repotting well, definitely go smaller until it's re-established itself. Otherwise, add more perlite to your soil to try and improve your drainage.
