How do I unpair my Apple Watch from an old phone and pair it with a new phone?

I switched carriers last night and have a new phone so I need to unpaired my watch from the old phone and pair it with my new phone. The information I found online told me to go to my watch on the iPhone and do it that way, but it’s not allowing me to.

If you are having problems doing something then we can better advise you if we know more about the actual problem than simply something is not allowing you to do it. In what way is it not allowing you to do it? If there are error messages, we need to know them.
