Scrolling the watch face up or down

all of a sudden my watch won't scroll up or down when I try to read the battery, etc. when scrolled up or any notifications when the red dot is at the top and I try to scroll down. What would cause that to suddenly happen, when it was working before today?

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.
