Feeling useless at my job

I work in the Product Analyst for a US based startup. I have not had anything to do for the last one week, while my team that comprises of Dev and Design folks have a lot of work. I feel very useless in the office. My company would be glad to have me contribute to design or development but I don’t have the skillsets for it. My question to the ones reading this here, is if I must acquire the design skills(Figma) or development skills(Frontend) and contribute to the product development efforts simultaneously expanding my skillset or acquire product management skills and build my profile well as the natural career progression of my job is in and towards Product management(especially considering that I am a fresher and I don’t have any prior product experience). I wish to stay in the Product field in foreseeable future. Please help me out with this folks, TIA!
