Apple Watch stuck on weird charge screen

My Apple Watch will not turn on and is stuck on a charge screen I haven’t seen before. It has been on the charger for a few hours and will not turn on/change from this screen. The screen shows a watch charger with a lightning bolt in the middle, see attached picture. Please help!

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 10

Place the watch on the charging puck and force restart the watch by pressing simultaneously the crown and the side button until you see the Apple logo. Ignore anything on the screen until you see the Apple logo, at which point you can release the buttons.
