Ouch!

You managed to damage the display. The cost of a new display is about $85 ~ 120 depending on the size and glass.

Apple just lowered the price of the Series 3 depending on how worn yours is you might consider it.

If you struggle to find a new screen look on eBay for a spares or repair watch the same as yours with a good screen and use that. Cheaper than a new one too. I used to repair fitbits this way.
