Hi fitzynum1,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We'd recommend you try force restarting your Apple Watch. From the linked article, use these steps:
Force restart your Apple Watch
You should force restart your Apple Watch as a last resort and only if it's not responding.
Don’t force restart your Apple Watch if you're updating watchOS. After you see the Apple logo and progress wheel, leave your watch alone and on its charger until the update finishes.
To force restart your Apple Watch, press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo.
Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support
If your Apple Watch was updating, don't force restart it yet, give it time to finish the update. If you aren't able to get it to finish updating or restart, the next best step is to reach out to our support teams. You can reach them here:

Take care.
