Apple Watch paired with old phone

I recently upgraded my phone, my Apple Watch was paired with the old phone. So I still receive texts on my Apple Watch but I cannot do anything else because my new phone isn’t paired with it. When I go on the app it says to connect an Apple Watch but I cant because mine is connected to my old phone that I do no have anymore. How do I fix this?
