Why do fig leaves turn white?

Friday(5/16) and noticed the next morning the leaves were beginning to turn white. I brought it back into the house. Did I do something wrong? It was blooming beautifully while inside. I need help! I’m sorry; but, I’m computer illiterate and don’t know how to send images

I think you are indicating that the plant was outside for a period of time. In this case it may be sun scald.
When moving a plant from indoors to outdoors you need to make the move gradual and let them adjust to the change in sunlight.
