Rhriane:
If you are really and truely concerned about this Japanese Maple, and you are not sure that the repoting job was done correctly, the only real solution at this time of year, would be to carefully take the plant out of the pot, re-planting outside. Find a spot outside that is well and truely protected from wind, yet recieves natural rain, and prepare a hole for the plant. Once this is done, plant the Maple in it, and let nature nourish it back to health. Japanese Maples do not take kindly to being potted in the first place, so I suspect that is what the problem is. Good Luck with your plant.

Yeah, some more info would be good
Try bending the branches, if there's flex it's alive & just going through transplant shock. If they're brittle that branch is dead. At this time of year I would wait for spring to see if it leafs out.
Give it some winter protection too, like wrapping it in burlap. And insulate the pot, either bury it or pile gravel, mulch, or soil around it. Sinse it's struggling you want to help it through the winter.

replant and tamp down the soil tightly
