Recently did my taxes and I accidentally put that I did not receive a third stimulus. Will I go to jail? How does that affect me? Will be amending

No you will not go to jail.   You made a very common mistake.   The IRS cross checks returns that claim the 3rd stimulus.  They will catch your mistake and correct it by reducing your refund.   That will cause a delay so do not expect a quick refund.
