Hi CDeLong,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you're taking the right steps to check your notifications as shown in Notifications on your Apple Watch - Apple Support but none appear and the red dot does not go away. Right?
In this case, it may be best to unpair your Apple Watch from your iPhone, then pair it again. This will refresh the connection and should resolve the notification issue. Guidance below is from Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support.
"How to unpair and erase your Apple Watch if you have your iPhone
8. Type your Apple ID password to disable Activation Lock, then tap Unpair."
You can then pair again, restoring from your backup when prompted. Guidance can be found in Set up and pair your Apple Watch with iPhone - Apple Support if needed.
Take care.
