Unresponsive Screen / Display not turning on - Charge 6

ANSWERED

So appearently last night at 12:10am my Charge 6 fitbit stopped recording my sleep and heartrate. When I woke up I realized that the screen was not turning on. I tried tapping the screen 2 times and  3 times just in case it was in like waterloo mode, I twisted my wrist is all sorts of ways to wake the screen and I tapped the two buttons on the side multiple times. Non of these methods have worked. When I go onto the fitbit app it says the last time it was synced and when I try to re-synce it to my phone it says it's unable to locate my fitbit. I got the Charge 6 fitbit last year since my husband and I were doing a weightloss journey so it's not really old or anything like that. I did Charge it yesterday morning and based on what the fitbit app states, my fitbit was sitting at a 96% before this craziness happened. I did try to place it on the Charger to try to work up the screen and that didn't work and I also tried changing the face screen and that didn't work as it tells me that it cannot locate my fitbit. I don't know where to go from here and miss my fitbit work haha. All help and suggestions is greatly appreciated

At first it didn't work until I started randomly holding buttons and messing with the charger. What caused this it to act like this ? glitch?

Sometimes there is a firmware update pending, and the restart helps in the process.
