Iwatch called 911 at 2am and 3am

IWatch 4 - called 911 at 2am and 3am exactly. Maybe a coincidence? I took watch off and half asleep tried to power it down. The watch would not restart in the morning. Apple icon appears then turns off. Tried hard booting several times.Screen appeared “Erase all content and Settings?”. I press cancel and the apple icon appears then the screen repeats “Erase all content and settings?” Again. After several times I pressed reset and nothing different happens. Watch no longer connects to my iphone or “find my”. In the charger the apple icon blinks on and off every 3 seconds. I selected reset 3 times and the “count up, second hand ring of dashes appears and then displays with apple icon.

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 7

Finally - Had watch on charger all morning - about noon message came up on watch asking to pair watch to phone. I was able to pair watch and restore from backup. All seems good now. Could flashing apple icon mean watch needs to be charged more? Still not sure what happened…I am Turning off everything I can find for 911 calling. 911 calls being completed while I am sleeping is unacceptable. Hard to say if I pushed the buttons on my watch exactly an hour apart. Seems unlikely.
