Problem with upcoming N400 Appointment

I applied for naturalization last year and I have an appointment coming up. I have a situation I need to address and wanted to ask for some advice.

In 2012 I got a driving without a license charge while undocumented, this was in another state that I am applying in. Since I was pregnant at the time, they didn’t detain me, instead they cited me and let me leave. I panicked and gave a false name. I went to court, completed community service. In 2013, I received my green card and never disclosed the charge.

For my citizenship, I hired an attorney and told him the story, he said it wouldn’t be a problem. His office sent me the N 400 questionnaire, I answered “No” to all since the charge was never brought up again. Now that application has been turned in, he wants to amend the form and disclose that I received a citation and inform them that I used a different name.

I want to be honest, but it looks bad, omitting the ticket for the green card would show I have been lying since then. I noticed that on the application it says you must provide information on any citation, which I don’t have, and they received an application answering “no” to any citation or tickets. I have already done my biometrics. I feel that retracting this information and providing something bad like this would hurt me and get my green card taken away and possibly deported. I’m thinking to completely give up and not show up for the appointment.

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
