Hello hhunter333,


It sounds like your Apple Watch is stuck. We know how important having a working Apple Watch is for you, and we will help get you to the right place to find a resolution. Please try the following steps:


Apple logo screen. 
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.

This info is located in the support article that you reach out from: Restart your Apple Watch


If you are unable to resolve the issues then the next step is to have the Apple Watch checked out by a service provider. You can use this link to Find Locations nearest to you.


Farewell!
