I used to be able to answer calls on my apple watch7(GPS only) from my iPhone 13 ProMax, but no longer can. I've restarted both, and they're up to date on software updates. When I press the green button on my watch, it just says Call Failed and I have to call the person back on my phone.
Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 9
The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.

Your best option may be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar in an Apple Store near you and let them look at it:

Try and restart both the watch and its paired iPhone to see if the problem persists
I’ve done that twice with no luck. I also tried turning off the Bluetooth between my phone and watch
Thank you for the assistance. Unfortunately unpairing didn’t work and there are no Genius bars near me
I'm no longer able to answer calls on my watch
