Hello Taylorlouis, 


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! From your message we understand that Siri Shortcuts are not working when working with Siri from your Apple Watch. 


To begin, verify that your Apple Watch and iPhone are signed into iCloud with the same Apple ID. This is needed to use shortcuts across all your devices. Here's how you can check: Sign in with your Apple ID


Next, if the shortcuts are working from your iPhone, follow the steps under, "If Siri doesn't respond or asks you to try again," from this article: Use Siri on your Apple Watch


All the best.
