It looks like you’re trying to import a package in your 
schema.js
file that doesn’t exist

Are you able to share the code from the 
./schemas/schema.js
file?

import createSchema from 'part:@sanity/base/schema-creator'
import schemaTypes from 'all:part:@sanity/base/schema-type'
import home from './home'
import about from './about'
import project from './project'

export default createSchema({
  name: 'default',
  types: schemaTypes.concat([
    home,
    about,
    project,
  ]),
})
I have not changed anything in this file since last time.
