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:
How to restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support
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

Or try this;
Close the Activity app on the iPhone
On your watch: go the Home screen
(single press of the Digital Crown) and tap on
the Activity app icon (coloured rings).
Press firmly on the screen > tap on Change
your Move Goal > change the goal.
You can move the goal back once it's working again.
This little trick did the job, I had lost sync 2 weeks back for no unknown reason. Bumping the calorie count on a goal on the apple watch instantly applied to my activity screen on the iphone. Thanks.
