It's impossible to know the private keys for a watch-only address unless you imported the private keys (If that's even possible). Blockchain.info no longer allow you to export private keys for the new HD wallet addresses, there is a way but It's not really newbie friendly , you should check it out  (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-2l6xOqcbjs9QWEqSh72RD1d8EEdvG_hQuEXw_f_o6w/edit)though.

Was your address from your blockchain.info wallet or from elsewhere? Were you trying to import its private key to blockchain.info?

Watch only means that the wallet does not have the private key for it (or it doesn't think it does, blockchain.info has many bugs and often does stupid things). There is no way to get the private key for a watch-only address in a wallet because the wallet doesn't have the key.
