Is it does not giving the unlock screen when there are 6 hours past?

If not you might need to reset your Apple Watch

Put your watch on its charger and keep it there until you complete these steps.
Press and hold the side button until you see the power button in the upper-right corner of the display.
Press and hold the Digital Crown until you see Erase all content and settings.
Tap Reset, then tap Reset again to confirm.
Wait for the process to finish, then set up your Apple Watch again. When asked, restore from a backup.
