Likely a damaged date wheel. Will need service attention for sure.

90+% of the time is the result of using the quick set date during the 'danger zone'. It may have been broken for several weeks and only show symptoms now because the damaged tooth / teeth aligned with the date change mechanism.

Have you tried turning the hands forward by 24 or 48 hours and seeing if the day & date change that way?

I have a watch that gets finicky when I try to just change the day & date at certain times. If I turn the hands forward by a day or two, I can then change the day & date as needed. (Not that yours shouldn't be looked at, just a thought.)

Overnight it moved the date ahead then at around 3:30AM stopped keeping time. Hand wound the crown and its back up and running. Very odd....
