Missing first day of watering didn’t help, but I don’t believe it caused your problem. I suspect sod/soil not making good contact. After 4 days you should begin seeing roots extending from the sod into the soil. If not you might rolled the sod (couple hundred pounds of water in a walk behind roller) and keep watering.
