Why can’t i force restart my Apple Watch? When I pushed both buttons, only the time and the red charge sign appeared then disappeared.

My Apple Watch went dark, and when I recharged it, nothing seemed to happen. When I tried to turn off, only the time and the red charging sign came on, same with force restart with both the crown and side button pushed in. I own the watch for a year and a half now.
