Apple Watch reads passcode numbers aloud and won't unlock

My daughter has done something to her apple watch, but isn't sure "what she did". Every time she tries to unlock her watch, it called out every action. When the types in her pass code, it reads the numbers out loud, but it won't unlock. Does anyone know what she may have done to have caused this?

Hi, I don't know the exact situation, but try unlocking her Apple Watch with her iPhone (if she has that set up), then in watch settings go to accessibility, then go to VoiceOver and turn it off. if the problem persists, call apple support. Hope that helps.
