Will Apple Watch call 911 if my heart rate is above 150?

No, Apple Watch will not call anyone regardless of whatever your heart rate may be.

If you would like to submit a feature request to Apple, then you can do so here:

Feedback - Apple Watch - Apple

For Apple Watch Series 1 and newer models, under watchOS 4.x, elevated heart rate notifications are delivered on your Apple Watch (ie to you) when it detects a heart rate that rises over the level that you have specified whilst you appear to have been inactive for at least 10 minutes:

On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Notifications > Heart Rate
