I would recommend restarting the watch but I don't think that will work:

Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support

If that doesn’t work, then I think you have a few options:


First, you can contact apple support and see if they can help

Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support

Secondly you can try and unpair and repair the watch

Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support

I just did a forced restart and it turned it off.
