My Apple Watch series one was dead so I put it on the charger and the apple logo shows up and then flashes on and off while on charger I don’t know what to do. I’ve been charging in for 2 hours now like this and I tried to do a hard reset but nothing
Apple Watch Series 1
I suggest performing a forced restart. Steps needed are found in the Apple Support article: Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support
i.e. 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.
If you've completed that troubleshooting and the issue is still not resolved, accept that series 1 are not serviceable by Apple. Replace it!

I have already tried a forced reset and still nothing there has been no damage to my watch or charger so is there anyway to look at my watch and tell me why it’s not working?
With the reset and the re-charging and having found it dead, this Series 1 has probably failed. That might mean a battery replacement, or wholesale replacement. (I don’t think Apple is offering battery replacements on Series 1 anymore.)

Series 1 is far behind on watchOS, and Apple isn’t repairing it.
Any third-party repairs are entirely your choice.
As for the repairs… Submerging Series 1 is Not Recommended, and what little resistance it still has (if any) will continue to degrade. A third-party repair causing further degradation would unfortunately not be unusual.
I’d look at spending on a newer (used) Watch.

I would not waste your money on street watch butchers, the battery would be fake and the Watch probably still kaput. Certainly not water resistant any more. Even Apple don't replace batteries, they replace Watches. Spend your money on an SE2022
