Hello Raissa607,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We suggest performing a force restart to help with your Apple Watch not charging. The steps can be found in the related article: Restart your Apple Watch


Force restart your Apple Watch
You should force restart your Apple Watch as a last resort and only if it's not responding.
Don’t force restart your Apple Watch if you're updating watchOS. After you see the Apple logo and progress wheel, leave your watch alone and on its charger until the update finishes.
To force restart your Apple Watch, press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo.


Should this issue persist, the next step will be to contact Apple Support for further assistance:
