The only way to charge/pair an Apple USB-C Pencil with a compatible iPad (i.e., the iPad itself has a USB-C port) is to connect the Pencil to the iPad using a USB-C to USB-C charging cable - such as that supplied with your iPad.
While a USB-C Pencil can be magnetically attached to the inductive charging dock of the host iPad when it is not being used, the Pencil cannot be charged - as the USB-C Pencil does not support inductive charging.
The iPad User Guide provides more information:

If your iPad and Pencil are not operating as expected, try a forced-restart - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
- Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
- Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
- Press and hold the top button.
- When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.
If the problem persists after performing the restart, it may be necessary to reset your iPad settings. While this reset will not cause any loss of data, as a precaution, it is always wise to ensure that you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup before performing the reset:

When you are happy to proceed, you can perform the reset from iPad settings:
Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset All Settings
If the problem still doesn’t clear, the next step is to reset the iPad to factory settings:

Otherwise, you would be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:
