Select list fields store options you select, not numbers, so you can't just add them up.

You will need to read the value of each field and convert from an option to a number (bearing in mind one of your admins could easily add something like "three" or "twelvety" as options, so you'll need to catch non-numbers), then add them up

https://library.adaptavist.com/entity/calculate-the-sum-of-all-values-of-a-custom-field-in-linked-issues is an example of adding up numbers into another field, after you've converted to numerics.
