Which Apple Watch do you use?
If this is an older model, has the battery ever been replaced by Apple?
If you connect your watch to the charger and an original 20W Apple Power adapter for about 30min, does the watch start automatically?
...
If you connect your Apple Watch to its charging cable and you don't see a lightning bolt on your watch:

You can see an estimate for getting the battery replaced by Apple on this Apple Watch Service & Repair page:
Apple Service and Repair for Apple Watch - Apple Support
If other parts of the hardware are damaged, the price of getting the whole watch replaced is almost as high as the costs for a new Apple Watch.

Step 1. Force Restart.
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 ().
Step 2. Reset Watch.
How to reset your Apple Watch:
NOTE — Erasing all content and settings erases all media, data, and settings from your Apple Watch, but it does not remove Activation Lock. To remove Activation Lock, unpair the watch first. Before your watch is erased, a backup of its contents is created on your iPhone.
Step 3. Connect Watch.
Then make sure both devices are in close proximity with the following settings:
Click ▶︎ Connect/Pair your Watch for detailed instructions.

I use the apple watch 7 series. The battery has never been replaced from Apple.
It does not start and does not show anything. I will be taking it to Apple this Saturday to see if the Apple Natick can help me out. Also nothing pops up on the watch.
