Apple Watch logo flashes but can't restart

I have an Apple Watch 7 that has the apple logo flash/blink while on the charger but I can't reset it. The side button doesn't work so I'm unable to reset it. I did let it completely die to see if that did anything and when put on the charger the screen showed a watch charger with a red bolt in the middle. So I thought it was doing something. When I was able to kinda turn it on it asked if I wanted to delete everything on the watch. There wasn't much on it so I did. Now we're back to square one and the logo is flashing/blinking again.

Seems you will need to set up your watch again. You can also restore from a backup, if you wish.

You can set up your watch as new: Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support

or, if needed:

See how to: Set up and pair your Apple Watch with iPhone - Apple Support
