Unable to turn on apple watch

I went swimming today, but not for long. My watch was is water lock mode, but then it suddenly started calling the 911 emergency line. I had to to stop and then the green light in the bottom kept flashing. It is finally off, but the apple logo keeps flashing. I have attempted to hold both buttons down and it is still not working. Just shows the logo and goes back to the black screen.

Same thing here. I switched it to water lock mode to swim, and then after a little while I got a 'Workout' alert asking me if I was doing a swim (first time that ever happened). I declined the notification (usually it doesn't work to tap the screen when it's in water lock mode, so maybe it turned off water lock when it sent the notification? A little later I got a low-battery notification. After that, the watch went dead (I assumed just because the battery died), but now it won't turn back on at all.
