The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.

FWIW, a lot of people are having problems updating a series 3 due to lack of sufficient memory. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 times unpairing/pairing the series 3 watch for the update to finally work. For possible solutions, see the reply to:
