My Apple Watch series 3 is locked because I forgot my password for my iCloud account paired to an old phone that it’s not working, I don’t have the receipt for the Apple Watch and it’s locked. What can I do?

You can ask apple to remove the activation lock online on this page;

Or this;

If you can't remember/gain access to the apple id that paired the watch to the phone.Take the watch and it's receipt along with some photo id and any other proof of ownership to an Apple Store and request that they remove the Activation Lock for you.
