Hello Beccabooc,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
If we understand your post correctly, you'r Apple Watch won't restore and your phone is not finding an update either. We'd like to help!
For the watch let's follow the steps below:
"Your Apple Watch is backed up automatically to your paired iPhone, and you can restore it from a stored backup. Apple Watch backups are included when you back up your iPhone—either to iCloud, or to your Mac or PC. If your backups are stored in iCloud, you can’t view the information in them.
Back up and restore Apple Watch
An Apple Watch that’s managed for a family member backs up directly to the family member’s iCloud account when the watch is connected to power and a Wi-Fi network. To disable iCloud backups for that watch, open the Settings app
on the managed Apple Watch, go to [account name] > iCloud > iCloud Backups, then turn off iCloud Backups."

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care!
Thanks for the information and steps to fix, however unfortunately my back ups haven’t been working as my icloud is full.
