Apple Watch Digital Crown not responding

My apple watch series 2 digital crown stopped responding a while ago. I tried everything I found online to no avail. Also, when I shake it, it acts as if I'm clicking the digital crown, but I'm not. Does anyone know the problem? Thanks.

Apple Watch Series 2, watchOS 5

You can try the steps in the 'Clean and dry the Digital Crown' section of:

How to clean your Apple Watch - Apple Support

If that doesn't help, I suggest you make an appointment at the Genius Bar in an Apple Store near you and let them look at it.
