Quick press and release the flat oval side button (see picture)

Use Control Center on Apple Watch - Apple Support

DO NOT hold the button, as that brings up Emergency services.

In the list of icons is Theater mode 🎭 icon, that will silence the Apple Watch and keep the screen from turn on unless you touch it. And an alarm 🔔 icon that disables sounds.

If you have problems getting the quick press and release timing just right, play with Settings-> Accessibility-> Side Button Click Speed (you will have to scroll a bit to find it).

Since you upgraded to watchOS 10 access to the Control Center, and has changed. You will find the "silent mode" icon using the following advice.

"Open or close Control Center

• Open Control Center: Press the side button once.
• Close Control Center: With Control Center open, turn your wrist away from you or press the side button again.""

I don’t see how to silent it still. That didn’t help. It just takes me to my apps.

Use the buttons and screen on your Apple Watch states:

Press the side button

• Press to show or hide Control Center.
• Press and hold to use Emergency SOS.
• Double-click to use Apple Pay.
• Press and hold to turn your watch on or off. 

If you have Apple Watch Ultra or later, you can customize the Action button to access your favorite features quickly.

If you haven't updated watchOS, learn how to use the side button."

Thank you. Perfect.

You are welcome.
