My nikon l320 is giving me a message normal watchdog timeout and then shuts it's self down. nothing in my manual

Possible Solutions.
1. Charge the battery
2. If still not turning on, try using a little alcohol and wiping the battery terminal(s) on the battery and the battery terminals in the camera. Use a QTip and allow to completely dry before recharging the battery or inserting it into the camera.
2. Replace the battery with new one.
3. On/Off switch may be defective on camera. Charger may be defective. Wire connecting power from charger to wall socket may be improperly connected or loose.

Look for reference manual at this webpage:

after changing the battery and gently push back on the lens it should automatically close if not then check around it it must be something stuck in between it

not sure, but it sounds bad. you could send it to nikon on L.i, Ny, but they are wicked expensive. Try local repair shop first.

This happens due to over extension of lens by motor or encoder failure. Please try few things.
1. Remove battery wait for 20mts, replace with fully charged battery, lens may return to original position.
2. Struck up click button also give similar problem.

Timeout:
Your pool service company or somebody (?), had bypassed temporarily the automation, and placed the system into a "Timeout" mode. Not a major problem at all, and normally nothing to worry about! Unless nobody did this and it is in this mode for more than 3 hours. Let me explain briefly...
What does this mean?
Time out is simply a manually entered mode, that will bypass automation for only 3 hours, and will return to normal "Auto" mode after those 3 hours.
Why is this function available?
If your pool service company arrives and the automation system is normally on "Auto" mode, and he or she finds that everything is off, not scheduled to come on yet or just had completed its normal cycle, the service company is somewhat out of luck if, lets say "Muriatic Acid" is to be added, or an "Algaecide" or some other Specialty chemical that needs the water to be circulation for a few hours after adding this product. What can the service person do, if no one is home to reprogram it or to turn it on? He/she can put it into "Service Mode", which is another mode available on an Automation system, but that overrides the system completely and will stay in that mode until it is once again manually changed back to "Auto" mode.
Timeout - is the mode the service provider will use, after using possibly service mode to turn the filter pump on so the pool can be vacuumed, then if a product like what was mentioned above is added, the system can then be manually placed into "Timeout" and the pool pump will run, mixing the chemicals in the pool, and then will automatically revert back to auto mode 3 hours later. Completing the job of diluting & mixing whatever the pool service provider added.

I can't find any timeout error. Perhaps you look in the manual from page 119, where all error messages are, to see what the camera tries to tell you. there are a lot of warnings and errors with a little clock symbol.

I had the same problem with the Watchdog reading and I simply turned the On Off Switch really fast and Presto! It worked!

Lock motor relay watchdog is active when it should be off Microprocessor checking the operation of the EDC lock relay after self clean is selected, relay failed. Replace EDC.
