Apple watch3 will not turn on

I am getting the cable with green lightning bolt when I put my series 3 watch on the charger. It does not turn on and it doesnt force turn on either! It gets super hot when on the charger for a short amount of time as well!

Follow the instructions here as appropriate, including contacting Apple Support (mail-in service may be available, if required), making a Genius Bar reservation or visiting an Apple Authorised Service Provider if necessary:

Be sure to use only an Apple or MFi-certified USB power adapter or third-party accessory in conjunction with the Magnetic Charging Cable or Magnetic Charging Dock when charging your Apple Watch. If you are already doing so, try using another such cable and/or power adapter.
