Troubleshooting iPhone Storage:

Internal storage cannot be upgraded. It is what it is. So, the maximum internal storage capacity never increases, even if you upgraded your iCloud plan. Learn More here: What's the Difference Between Device Storage and iCloud Storage? Apple Support

You cannot upgrade / increase the physical storage of your iPhone 6s. The storage space on your iPhone will remain the same as it was when you purchased it. You can free up some storage space by deleting files that take up the most space and those are the Videos, Photos, Music etc.

You are not able to update your iPhone 6s because your available storage space on your iPhone is very low.
