Hey Rangers-ny,
Let's see if we can help, the article you posted from is a good resource for restarting your Apple Watch. Did you follow the steps in Restart your Apple Watch for force restarting?
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 you have tried force restarting and still not getting a response from your Apple Watch, then you will want to contact Apple Support by going to Get Support.
Good luck!
