Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I'm having the same issue that others have noted, can't get control panel to swipe up from time to time. The only solution has been to reboot, which seems like a cumbersome fix. I like to turn on Theater Mode at night while sleeping and the only way I know to access that is from the control panel. Anyone have a different solution?
Apple Watch
I can still swipe left and right to change watch faces. I can't swipe up or down for notifications or control panel. I'm currently on 6.1.3 of watchOS, this issue has persisted even after an update. I haven't noticed it following any certain action or location, though the vast majority of the time it's at home. holding the crown and the side button until it reboots always fixes the issue. I haven't tried unpairing and erasing, that seems a bit drastic. :) I'll have to decide how much rebooting bothers me.

Hey there egamache,
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. I understand you’re having issues accessing Control Center from your Apple Watch intermittently. I’ll be happy to help.
When this happens, can you use other features of the display without issue? Do you notice this issue seems to happen in certain locations or after doing a certain task or anything on your Apple Watch? If restarting help, try updating your Watch and see if the issue returns:
If the issue continues after that, unpair your Apple Watch and iPhone, then pair them together again:
Unpair and erase your Apple Watch
Let me know if this helps.
I actually just had this happen, I was able to go into the alarms app, select an alarm, then back out to the watch face and swipe up. I "feel" like I've tried that before and sometimes it works and sometimes not. I'll pay more attention
