First force restart it

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 Force Restart the paired iphone   Force restart iPhone – Apple Support (UK)

 

If you're then able to get into the Watch settings, General, Reset, Erase cintent and settings.

Otherwise Contact Support.
