You may have turn on the Water Lock by mistake in the Control Center.


The Water Lock has to be manually turned on, meaning that it won't turn on automatically if the Watch encounters water (How to use Water Lock and eject water from your Apple Watch - Apple Support).


Some users actually use this feature when they see that they accidentally turn or push the crown, or tap the display during workouts.
