Apple Watch SE not syncing and app on IPhone not working after WatchOS 7.1 Update!

So I just got the IPhone 12 and the Apple Watch SE.


After updating the watch to WatchOS 7.1, my won't now won't sync to my phone and the app also doesn't work. I can't get the activity app to sync to my phone. On the watch app, it doesn't do anything when I tap "set as current watch face." And when I go software updates, it keeps saying "Checking for Updates..." It literally won't let me do anything. I'll also get the message "Could Not Connect to Apple Watch" "Make sure your Apple Watch is nearby, powered on, and not in Airplane Mode."


I also can't ping my phone from my watch. When I tap it to ping, it makes no noise on my phone.


I still get notifications on my watch and it is connected to my phone through bluetooth and wifi.


Is anyone else having this problem? My mom also got the IPhone 12 and Apple Watch SE, but didn't update it and hers works fine.
