My apple watch won't charge

Overnight my apple watch did not charge. I unplugged the charger and moved it to another outlet but it still will not charge. I tried to restart the watch and do a hard restart but it will not do either of those too.

Apple Watch Series 2, watchOS 5

Your post indicates you have Apple Watch Series 2, which is now around 7 years old and the battery is probably a similar age. Apple expects its batteries to maintain >80% capacity after 500 charge/discharge cycles, and I am pretty sure your watch is way past that point so a battery failure is a strong possibility. However, don't abandon hope yet, see Apple's advice in

And note the last item to contact Apple Support if you can't get it working. The watch repair and service page Apple Watch Service & Repair - Apple Support indicates you may be able to get battery service if it has failed.
