The easiest fix would be a force restart of your watch.
To force restart your watch, press and hold the Digital Crown and the Side button together for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.
If this does not work, and to rule out a software issue, erase the watch and pair it again, setting it up as a new device. You will only lose your created Watch faces and may have to activate the cards in your Wallet app again.
Then test the ECG again.

Depending on what “doesn’t work” actually means (as in what happens when you try it), simply positioning the watch a little bit away from your wrist may help.
Can another person use the watch and start an ECG?
Did you also set it up as a new device, or just tried the forced restart?

I don't have the same problem with my Apple Watch 10. So I think it may be a hardware issue for you and the OP.
The OP has indicated that they've been having problems where they had to wet their finger to get it to work. Sounds like a bad sensor to me.
I dont think it is a software issue, I am afraid that there is something going on with the sensor
I have tried this and it is still the same, it starts for the most three seconds and then goes back to 30 seconds. I have always had to dampen my finger to make it work but even that doesn’t work, my Apple Watch 7 is fine just the 10 that is playing up.
