Hello everyone I have some watermelon wine I've had fermenting for almost 4 weeks now. And I looked at it today, and I wanted to see if you guys think this is normal. It looks as if all the color sunk to the bottom.

Never having done watermelon... I would think that is natural. Things settle as they ferment. You’ll get “lees” , fruit stuff and yeast at the bottom. It is fun watching it go through the stages.
 
Some yeast strains help retain colors, other strip some color. Melons are finicky for ferments too, and tend to smell bad at first and need to age a while.
