I have the same issue. It’s clearly a bug and maybe both the funniest and most serious one I’ve ever had to deal with.

In my case I was waking up to my watch using itself. It changed contacts, added locations in maps, placed and cancelled two calls to emergency services and more. I then made the mistake of taking it off my wrist. Now the screen is locked and the watch will continue to enter wrong PINs, locking itself for more time every time. You can’t shut it down - the watch will start to type and dismiss the shutdown dialog (or call 911 again!).

I haven’t gotten around to taking it to an Apple Store and have returned to my Garmin watch.

Unpair and reset from the phone.

Or throw the device before it wastes more public resources by ghosting dialing public services.
