Apple Watch wont turn on

I can’t get my watch to charge or turn on after being dead for months. Followed a video to try to do a restart and now it unpaired my phone and watch. How do I get my watch to start working again!

Apple Watch Series 1, watchOS 5

If you store a device when its battery is fully discharged, the battery could fall into a deep discharge state, which renders it incapable of holding a charge. For more info, see:
