I am trying to figure out if and how I can create a select by attributes tool for a map service within ARCGIS Online, since the tool is not available on that program. I was wondering if there is a script I could run in the API that would do this, or if I could somehow incorporate python script into ARCGIS Online, since I know the python code to run a selection by attributes.
Have you tried using the Filter tool on a map service layer to Select by Attributes?

Is the map service coming from your web map server? Are you able to see and adjust map service properties?
The attached image shows the map service properties "Operations Allowed" for the map service that I can perform a Filter operation on.

For instance, load this map service into your AGOL map.

Now, can you see a Filter option for the Continental US layer like that shown in the attachment below?

Two things come to mind. In #8 of this thread, you mention uploading data from ArcMap to AGOL using "Add Layer from File". I'm not sure what that means. Try pushing your ArcMap data to AGOL via >File >Share As >Service. The result will be a Hosted Feature Service.

Secondly, not every layer "Type" in the table-of-contents of an AGOL map is able to have its attribute table exposed or filtered. See my capabilities table, below.
