I'm not sure what that means either unless the Weather app is corrupted somehow. 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.

If all else fails, you can delete the Weather app on your iPhone, restart it, and then redownload the Weather app from the Apple App Store:

Delete built-in Apple apps from your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch - Apple Support

It should then give you the option to use it on your watch.
