If the Digital Crown will still respond to pressing try a forced reset by pressing and holding both button (together, about 10 seconds) until the apple appears and the watch begins to reboot. If that doesn’t clear the water lock you could try unpairing and re-pairing to reload all the software and default settings, but if there is a defect on the watch it might not pair correctly. Otherwise your only option is Contact Apple Support and arrange service to repair the watch.
