Make sure you don't have Screen Curtain enabled. See t5he 'Use Screen Curtain on your Apple Watch' section in:

Use Screen Curtain with VoiceOver for your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch - Apple Support


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.

If none of those helps, it may be a hardware problem with the screen. Your best option is to make an appointment at the Genius Bar in an Apple Store near you and let them look at it. If that is not possible, use the omen;ine Apple Support option. Either way:
