series3 watch has gone to a blank screen.
I’ve made sure that it’s on auto updates. I’m at a loss of what to do next. I’ve reset it and made sure again that it has the latest update. Recommendations?

Here are the steps for a force restart, just in case. Restart your Apple Watch
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.
If your Apple Watch is showing nothing but a blank screen and will not power on or charge, despite an attempt to force restart it, we’re going to recommend you seek hardware service. You can do that a couple different ways.
You can reach out to Apple Support by using this link - Contact Apple Support, by calling the number for your country/region from this list of numbers Contact Apple for support and service or by using the Apple Watch Service & Repair site - Apple Watch Service & Repair.
Thanks.
