Hello nangamso273,
We see you've already taken a look at Restart your Apple Watch which includes the appropriate steps to restart, along with force restarting which is suggested when your Apple Watch is unresponsive.
- "If your Apple Watch is charging, take it off the charger.
- Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider.
- Drag the Power Off slider.
- After your watch turns off, press and hold the side button again until you see the Apple logo."
"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."
If the Apple logo persists after those steps, this could indicate an issue that would require your Apple Watch being serviced, so you'll want to contact Apple Support.
Take care!
