Now when I’m watching a video on my iPhone the pause/rewind/ff and volume controls now appear on my watch. I don’t want them to. How do i stop it.

On the watch or the watch app on the phone, turn off settings / general / wake screen / auto-launch audio apps. It's a change in watchOS 4.

You're welcome. There should probably be a sticky for that question; it's a pretty common question when people are new to watchOS 4.
