    Am hoping that someone can identify what is causing this issue with a milkweed plant. Leaves are covered with yellow spots (see photo). Thank you in advance.

    That's chlorosis, where the chlorophyll is not developing. There could be several reasons. Here is an article (sorry, with a lot of ads) about it:

    Actually, all the website articles I have come across seem to be copies of each other, ads for a particular store. Here's a video linked to from one of them, also ultimately promoting a particular product.
