Apple Pencil not reconnecting to iPad after Bluetooth disconnection

My iPad and Apple Pencil have worked since I bought it but in the last 24 hours, the pencil has stopped working. I disconnected it from the Bluetooth and now it will not come back up to reconnect. I have updated my iPad.

You need to simply pair the Pencil again with the host iPad. Full pairing instructions, for each model of Apple Pencil, can be found here:
