Happened yesterday, even using Format/Page and scaling didn't work. I solved it by saving with 3.5.2 and uploading with it. Perhaps a (momentary?) problem with .com.
Could be you did something involving manual adjustments of that measure and then a slightly difference in the hardware used to do the mathematical calculations that determine number of measures per line resulted in a different layout, and then the things you did with manual adjustments ended up being counterproductive.
If you attach your score we can understand and assist better.
I was trying hard to make it look like the way the pdf originally looked: Just A-wearyin for You.pdf
but the piece did not change significantly when I pressed ctrl+r
edit: I uploaded the piece and it looks different since some slurs only went to the note after it as opposed to where I extended it. I'm kinda confused.
I have uploaded the piece and the spacing was not exactly like the pdf but it's better.
But does it matter if some crescendos are not in the middle but at the bottom and the arpeggios do not go down to the last note that the pdf shows?
Dragging anything more than just a slight amount is likely to cause at least some issues. It's important elements be attached properly. You can't add a marking to one note then drag it to appear above/below another note and expect it to work properly.
In the case of your slurs, the very first one is indicative of this, but they pretty much all have the same flaw. It's actually attached only to the first two notes, then stretched to look like it covers a whole measure and then some. So if the width of the measure ever changes, that slur is going to be very dadly wrong - either too long or too short, depending on whether the measure got narrower or wider.
In the future, when adding slurs, select the full range first, then click the palette icon or shortcut "S". but to fix existing incorrect scores, select one, press "R" to reset it, then use Shift+Right to extend it properly a note at a time.
The reason the measure widths differ on musescore.com is, I think, that you seem to be using a font for lyrics that musescore.com simply doesn't have. So it is substituting something else, and the widths differ. BTW, you're also doing that incorrectly I'm afraid - you're using the text toolbar to change each lyric one by one rather than simply changing the lyric text style. Your way is much much much more work. doubly so to fix the problem now. To fix it, right-click one lyric, Select / All Similar Elements, then click the "Remove Custom Formatting" button in the Inspector. You should also hit the reset buttons next to the font field. If you still wish to use a font other than the default, change it there in the Inspector then hit the set as style button ("S") icon. But do be aware that the score will look different on musescore.com as well as as the systems of anyone who downloads it.
I previously used a different font is because I wanted a certain number of bars to fit into a certain area.
Though I do not mind if the font changes when uploaded.
Don't change font to get this effect - at most, change the font size - and also, using the Inspector. But if the goal is to have fewer measures per system, that's never the best way - just add breaks. If the goal is to have more measures per system, smaller lyrics font can sometimes be good, but more often, smaller staff size (Format / Page Settings) is the way to go, or just tighter note spacing (Format / Style / Measure / Spacing).
Glaring difference; you've used a lyrics font that is not supported by .com. So they used a fallback font which is wider, resulting in different spacing.

You can select an element (e.g. arpeggio) and press X to invert its position and/or use Inspector to position it. Refer to the handbook for detailed information, e.g. https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/arpeggios-and-glissandi#Adjust_vert…
