i am trying to run an amd64 package on an m3 chip (arm64) and looked up online that rosetta2 can translate amd64 to arm64, i already have rosetta, it was installed to run minecraft, an x86 pkg, and want to update it to rosetta2 to run virtualbox, an amd64 package

Sounds like you want to run an Intel virtual machine application using Rosetta 2. That's not going to work.
About the Rosetta Translation Environment | Apple Developer Documentation
"Rosetta can translate most Intel-based apps, including apps that contain just-in-time (JIT) compilers. However, Rosetta doesn’t translate the following executables:
When you run Parallels on an Apple Silicon machine, you have to use an Apple Silicon version of Parallels. That version of Parallels will only create ARM virtual machines (not Intel ones). The same would go for any other virtual machine application.
Aside – Although you can't use Rosetta 2 to run Intel virtual machine applications or to create Intel virtual machines, there is this interesting technical note:
Running Intel Binaries in Linux VMs with Rosetta | Apple Developer Documentation
Rosetta 2 will allow you to run (many) Mac Apps that were compiled for Intel processors.
What, exactly, are you hoping to run?
Since Apple has NEVER used AMC CPUs in Macs, your post doesn’t entirely make sense.
The original Rosetta allowed running some Mac OS X / PowerPC applications on Intel-based Macs. It was part of the Intel versions of Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), 10.5 (Lion), and 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
Rosetta 2 allows running some macOS / Intel applications on Apple-Silicon-based Macs. It is a part of the Apple Silicon versions of macOS Big Sur (11), Monterey (12), Ventura (13), and Sonoma (14).
If you are actually running the original Rosetta, there is no way to "update it to Rosetta 2". They run on completely different machines and operating systems. If you are using an Apple Silicon machine, and you have already let the machine install Rosetta 2, there is no "update" needed. Rosetta 2 is already installed.
