First force restart the Watch 


i.e. 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. 


 Then, although it may seem irrelevant, while it is restarting Force Restart the paired iphone   Force restart iPhone – Apple Support (UK) 


Test it for a while. If it is still misbehaving... Unpair and set up again


 Unpair and erase your Apple Watch – Apple Support (UK) 


and then 


Set up your Apple Watch – Apple Support (UK)


You may also want to make sure the software on the watch and iphone  are both up to date to the same level.
