I have a 6 month old apple watch and phone and the ping function has worked perfectly until today.
The watch will NOT ping the phone today.
Any suggestions on a setting that may have accidentally gotten changed?
Apple Watch, watchOS 4
The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
The next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup:
Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support
