Older Apple Watch not charging after sitting dormant

I allowed my older Watch to sit dormant after buying a new Watch. Now I want to use it as a second Watch. The older Watch cannot take a charge. How can I get the older Watch to accept a charge so I can start using it as a second Watch?

Apple Watch SE 3, watchOS 26
