Apple's support document If your Apple Watch shows an iPhone and a watch or a red “!” describes this problem:

In some instances, your Apple Watch might show a red exclamation point [ie. mark]. If this happens, double-click the side button, then follow the steps above - which are -

  1. Make sure that an iPhone is nearby. The iPhone needs to have iOS 15.4 or later, it needs to be connected to Wi-Fi with Bluetooth turned on, and it needs to be unlocked.
  2. Put your Apple Watch on its charger.
  3. Double-click the side button (the button below the circular Digital Crown) on your Apple Watch.
  4. Follow the steps that appear on the iPhone.
