Apple Watch won’t unpair

Hi, I recently unpaired my Apple Watch from my old phone to connect to my new phone. But on my old iPhone it has been unpaired but the Apple Watch itself is connected to a phone. On my watch I try to ‘ping’ the iPhone but none of my phones are pinging.

Please could someone help me out.

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 6
