Hi calista163,


The steps to force your Apple Watch to reset are outlined in Restart your Apple Watch:


"Force restart your Apple Watch

You should force restart your Apple Watch as a last resort and only if it's not responding.

Don’t force restart your Apple Watch if you're updating watchOS. After you see the Apple logo and progress wheel, leave your watch alone and on its charger until the update finishes.

To force restart your Apple Watch, press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo."


If those steps are not successful, it would be advised to contact Apple directly via Apple Support to explore possible service options.


Regards.
