My watch will only display a red lightning bold & time

My watch will only display a red lightning bold & time. It won’t charge or let me shut it down. It’s been like this for a couple of days. How do I fix this?

Your Apple Watch needs to charge, but it might have an issue doing so. If possible, I would recommend using another charger. If you aren't using the charger that came with your Apple Watch, I would suggest that you do. You can learn more about what to do If your Apple Watch won't charge or it won't turn on - Apple Support. If the issue persists, I recommend that you Get Support.
