### Amplify Categories

storage

### Amplify Commands

update

### Describe the bug

Running update on NoSQL dbs in amplify storage throws the error `TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or null to object`. The issue may be that the tables were created to back the API via the CLI, but do not seem to be present in the storage category via the CLI (but are present when referring to them to be able to set permissions on a lambda function through the CLI).

### Expected behavior

You should be able to update NoSQL storage.

### Reproduction steps

1. Run `amplify update auth`
2. Select `NoSQL`

### GraphQL schema(s)

_No response_

### Log output

Research direction

Start with amplify-category-storage/lib/provider-utils/awscloudformation/service-walkthroughs/dynamoDb-walkthrough.js at updateWalkthrough line 62, then follow the updateResource call in index.js. Reproduce the reported flow with amplify update auth and selecting NoSQL, checking how tables created through the API are represented. Done means updating NoSQL storage completes without the reported TypeError.
