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.

Mine shows distance when the workout is over but not during the workout. The whole point of fitness is to let me know how far I have ran while I am running so I can either turnaround or go further. And there is no WORKOUT VIEW anymore. Even Apple Support couldn’t help me. They just told me to report to developers. So exasperating.
