My iwatch will no longer charge. I shows the plug with the red lightening bolt but never turns green. And after about 45 minutes a red thermometer shows on the screen. Any thoughts???

Follow these steps:
If your Apple Watch won't charge or it won't turn on - Apple Support
If you still need help, contact Apple Support.
If your Apple Watch experiences above-normal temperatures, it displays only a red thermometer and the time.
Here's what to do:
- If you're wearing your device, remove it from your wrist. If your Apple Watch is in the process of charging, remove it from its charger. Your watch automatically turns off a few seconds after displaying the thermometer. If you leave your watch on the charger, your watch won't turn off. If you try to turn your watch back on, the red thermometer will appear again.
- Move your Apple Watch to a cooler place and let it cool down before putting it back on or continuing to charge it. When your watch cools down, it automatically turns back on.
- If you're making cellular calls on a cellular model of Apple Watch in an area with a weak cellular signal, move to a location with a stronger signal.
