Apple Watch keeps going back to main menu

Everytime I open up my messages to reply on my Apple Watch, my screen keeps going back to the message menu. It also does it when I open my setting, and I would press general, it would go back to settings by it self. Even when I try to scroll down, it goes right back up without me doing it. Idk what’s going on

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:

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.
