It seems unlikely to me that you want to do an autoremove before
you have done an upgrade.
apt autoremove calls apt-get autoremove. Doing that twice seems
unwise or useless.
apt-get check is an extremely basic, fast check to see if the
cache is in place. Running it after update is useless --
any failure would appear in update first.

In general people don't want to dist-upgrade automatically.
Maybe you do.
