What is wrong with my daughter’s series 3 watch?

After about 5 minutes, it becomes warm/hot when it is placed on the charger. The lightning bolt blinks red then green. When I take it off the charger the screen stays black. Does anyone have advice since the Apples stores are all closed. I’d like to try and fix it myself before I send it off.

There is nothing to fix yourself, you need service from Apple. The way it gets warm shows the charger is working, and the red/green suggests an internal failure in the watch. https://getsupport.apple.com/ and start arranging your repair.
