I have "Notifications Indicator" on for my watch but I cannot swipe down to see them.

My watch no longer allows me to swipe down to see a notification even though the small red dot is on the top of the face. How do I fix this?

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 8

Try a reset of the Watch. Press and hold the Digital Crown and power button together until you see the Apple logo, then release. The Watch will reboot. Test after that.
