I accidentally swiped my bitcoin into a watching only wallet in electrum ...  from a paper coin


The way you describe this makes it difficult for me to work out what happened but I am unfamiliar with Electrum so it may make sense to someone familiar with Electrum.

Watch-only

A Watch-only address is a bitcoin address for which the wallet has no record of the private-key from which the address was generated.

A Watch only wallet would be a wallet that contains a watch-only address (without the corresponding private key).

Sweeping

When you "sweep" bitcoin from one "place" into another, I believe that usually means creating a Bitcoin transaction on the blockchain which transfers control of the money from one wallet to another. The target wallet can create this transaction if you give it the private-key of the donor wallet. However, there is no way this transaction should result in a watch-only address - where the target wallet does not know the private key of the target address.

Importing

The alternative process is to import the private key from the paper wallet into the target wallet. Again there is no way the target wallet could end up not knowing the private key which controls the money.

Recovering control

I would dig out the old paper wallet (which you called a paper bitcoin), create a new wallet and import the private key from the paper wallet. I would do this on a new PC or first carefully back-up the existing wallet (and preferably test the backup can be recovered). 

If you would like more detailed advice, it would probably require you to say how the paper wallet was obtained - e.g. "it was printed by an Acme-coinomatic BTM, in Idaho in June 2017".

If you have disposed of the paper wallet, your Bitcoin are probably lost forever.
