Why won't this datastore script work and return the new value?

I'm getting this error:

20:30:41.764 - Workspace.PlayerScript:18: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'newValue' (a table value)

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("DataStorage")


game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
    local key = "user_" .. player.userId

    DataStore:UpdateAsync(key, function(oldValue)
    local newValue = oldValue or 0 
    newValue = newValue + 20
    return newValue
    end)
