Detailed Answer:
Hi,
At 6 weeks pregnancy the size of the baby is very small. So there is a small possibility that the heart beat of the baby ay not be clearly seen.
Repeat scan after one week. If the heart beat is present, it should be seen in the repeat scan.

I hope this is helpful. If you have further concerns, do write to me.
Regards.
