GoDaddy was where you registered your DNS domain. They have acted as your registrar for your DNS domain.

If your website is hosted with Amazon managing your DNS (Route53), you can update GoDaddy to set your NS Servers for the domain in GoDaddy to match the NS Servers in your Route53 Hosted Zone.

Care should be taken to lower your Time to Live (TTL) on your domain before starting any work so that, if you need to revert changes, this can be done reasonably quickly (instead of waiting for hours). Additionally, care should be taken first to populate the Route53 Hosted Zone data to match what is already in the Go Daddy Hosted Zones.

If you are not trying to migrate so that your Route53 Hosted Zone manages your DNS, we need more information to help you. For example, what is the Amazon resource that is hosting your domain? It is possible to add a CNAME record in GoDaddy in some situations.

There are a lot of DNS concepts here, so it is difficult to answer succinctly. If the above needs to be clarified, please research https://aws.amazon.com/route53/. If still unclear, please search for tutorials like "How DNS works." These tutorials will help explain terms such as TTL, NS Servers, CNAME, etc.
