Hi Trinae24,


If your Apple Watch is not restarting when following Restart your Apple Watch:


    1. "If your Apple Watch is charging, take it off the charger.
    2. Press and hold the side button until you see the power button  in the upper-right corner of the display.
    3. Tap the power button.
    4. Drag the Power Off slider.
    5. After your watch turns off, press and hold the side button again until you see the Apple logo."


Continue to the bottom of that resource and follow "Force restart your Apple Watch."


Take care.
