Start by force restarting the Watch and paired iPhone at the same time:-

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 while Watch is restarting,

You may also want to make sure the software on the watch and iphone  are both up to date to the same level. Updates are in pairs. iOS16.5 and watchOS 9.5

Test it for a while. If it is still misbehaving...
