Skim coated wall cracks?

First timer here.

I skim coated half of this wall and only this one section is cracking like this. About 4 inches by 4 inches section.

It is where the skim coat ends and the previous painted wall starts.

This cracking started after I put a coat of primer on the wall. It seems that it is pulling away from the wall.

Where did I go wrong?

What is the best course of action to fix this?

My thoughts are to try and sand it down, but not sure if that will make it worse.
