Swipe up move to a quick press and release of the flat oval side button (see picture)

Use Control Center on Apple Watch - Apple Support


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


If you have issues getting the quick press and release timing just right, play with this option:


Settings -> Accessibility -> Side Button Click Speed.


I like Slow. My Wife likes Slowest. This is also helpful when try to bring up Apple Pay via a Double Press and Release.
