That is correct. You cannot amend until your original return has been fully processed.

You cannot amend a tax return that was just accepted. You have to wait for it to be processed by the IRS. Trying to send in an amended return while they are still processing the original return could confuse things and delay your refund for months.

Do not try to change anything on your return now. When you amend, your Form 1040X has to be prepared from the return exactly the way it looked when you filed it originally. You have to wait. Once your return has been processed you will complete a Form 1040X --- which is not yet available --- and submit it to amend the mistakes made when you filed your original return. It takes the IRS at least four months to process an amended return.

The 2020 Form 1040X does not become available until the end of March 2021 (subject to change).

@dallsgrandma1 As already stated---you cannot amend yet. You have to wait for the IRS to process your accepted return. You cannot change anything now. You just have to wait and see what they do--they might catch your mistake about the stimulus check and correct it for you. If you start messing around trying to change your return now all you will do is make a big mess.
