Leave it on the charger for 2 hours at least. Make sure to test the USB charging brick is working.

If the forced reset still will not work (ie 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) then the chances are you have a hardware or battery failure.
