Watch stuck in recovery mode

My Series 6 Apple Watch started an update the evening prior and since then it was been stuck in recovery mode. The loop cycles through and the screen comes up again telling me to “Recover Apple Watch”. If gone through this process too many times with no solution. I can not turn the watch off unless I force shut it down and it just goes back to recovery mode. Any Recommendations?

Thank you but I’ve followed those directions on that link and my issue is after it does it’s “recovery” and the little circle around the Apple symbol is complete, it just goes back to the watch showing the ‘iPhone and Watch’ and starts the process over of ‘Recover Apple Watch’. I do not get the red ”!” but I guess I will need to take it in. Earliest appt is 3 days away and was wondering if anyone else has encountered this same problem.
