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.

Thanks I did restart it and a few other things , I went into health app and started deleting the extra minutes starting with the one just after whet my workout ended , then restarted phone it seems to have worked for now , so first I deleted it in opposite direction and the data came back. It put 527 minutes when I only did 63 and the time stamp went to 17:23 and this occurred at 10:00
