Hello kerensa51,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! We understand
"With watchOS 7, the microphone icon means your Apple Watch mic is listening. It appears when you're talking to Siri, recording a voice memo, or using any app that activates the microphone, such as Handwashing or Walkie-Talkie."
Try closing all of your apps to see if the microphone icon disappears. When the app is in the background, push in the side button find the app you want to close and swipe left.
This clears it from the list.
Best Regards.

Thank you so much! Somehow, the microphone disappeared last night. I followed all the tips I found online but I didn’t notice it was gone until this morning.
Hey kerensa51,
Thanks for the update. We're glad we were able to assist you with this.
Have a wonderful day.
