Skin weights can't be seen/changed/exported

I can no longer paint skin weights on my model- nor can I see the skin weights or export them. I've tried on multiple maya scene files, but it will not let me do anything as far as editing or viewing skin weights. I tried exporting them so I could re-import them and try again, but Maya will not export them either.

When I attempt to paint the skin weights, nothing happens, but when I attempt to export them I get this:

// Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2018/scripts/others/exportSkinMap.mel line 287: Failed to export the attribute map. //

I've attached what I have. Are you saying that specific skinning methods stop me from viewing the paint data?
