After interviewing for a software engineering role and passing, I was (rather shadily) tossed into an entirely different role, and I can no longer put SE on my resume. My goal is to become a senior software engineer and eventually make the jump to development within web3. With the current path I am on, I would actually consider it to be detrimental to landing a development job in the future but it will look bad for leaving a role this early. I lose valuable skills everyday. What should I do?

Besides wake up next time you accept an offer, now evaluate the worth of your position vs ditching it and immediately restart interviews.
Assuming this all is of last week, in a year this sidestep will be nothing in your resume.

Well assuming you did your part and did it well, it's time to have an ambitions and expectations conversation with your manager/lead. They should understand if you are reasonably careful expressing your view and unhappy emotions from it. If they do not its a giant red flag, and an understandable reason to leave/switch. The story will show backbone and not reflect badly on you.

How long have you been in the role?

If not that long, consider opening dialogue with recollection abandonment and correct course of bail. A lot easier to swim back to shore while you can still see the shoreline.

It is at least partly their fault for a poor fit, as well as yours. If you need something in the interim DM me and I’ll get you hooked up with something in the meantime.

Whoever said employers don’t care about grades and transcripts after your first job was a liar. Every lateral position that I’ve applied to as a 3rd year has requested transcripts.

What does it really mean, and how do I win the negotiation?
