The digital crown stopped working at all and now the watch keeps scrolling out of control and sometimes selecting apps or functions without me tapping on them. It also keeps vibrating and triggering the focus mode unlock.
I have tried cleaning it thoroughly, resetting it, unpairing it. Nothing seems to work. I don't want to have to buy a new one.

Has the watch been dropped, or in contact with water?
This looks like a hardware issue and you should get it at least diagnosed by Apple or an Authorised Service Provider next to your place:
