Shasta Daisy's wilted! What did I do ?

I purchased a pot of Alaska Shasta Daisy and they have been growing happily in a pot on my patio. I went out today and noticed the plant was silted. I checked the soil and the soil is damp - Did I overwater this plant? and will it ever recover ????

Take the plant out of the pot and see the roots. If they are rotten, the plant will die. Overwatering can be one thing. Another can be a strong sunshine on the pot(usually roots do not like to be baked or boiled). Third thing- there is a fungus that causes wilt in Shasta daisies, but I have forgotten its name.
