Black screen on Apple Watch after charging

I put my watch on the charger Thursday night and it was perfectly fine. I woke up yesterday morning to put on my watch and the screen was black. The only time it would light up is when I tap on my screen and it will only show me the clock other than that I have a black screen. What can I do

Is it in low powered mode?

Try that

Touch and hold the bottom of your Apple Watch screen. Wait for Control Center to show, then swipe up.
Tap the battery percentage button.
Turn off Low Power Mode.

You can also turn on Low Power Mode in Settings.

Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch.
Scroll down, then tap Battery.
