I think you can't update something that is installed from AUR with Pacman. Try aurget.

Can you even log in?More precisely: can you log in and not immidiately be logged out (what is the average duration between log in and (automatic) log out)? Please, post a screenshot of the entire window.
And you can try clearing the cache, who knows, it might help:

rm -r ~/.cache

If Skype doesn't hold cache in ~/.cache (if it even holds cache, I don't know, I don't use Skype) then look inside ~/.config or ~/.local/share.

Re: [SOLVED] Skype logging out everytime

For that you will have to install gnome-keyring.
