if the channel shows up when I auto tune but the picture doesn't show up, would an amplifier help?

Probably. A low noise, medium gain, overload tolerant pre-amp will improve the system noise margin and would likely improve the reception of the weakest stations.
If you do not have power available near the splitter location, you will need to power the amp from indoors and will need to replace the current splitter with one that offers "DC PASS" on one or more ports. These are commonly labled in retail as "satellite" splitters and they will work just fine.
