When I registered my domain with dream host registrar I was not allowed to enter the ‘.’ at the end of ns1,ns2 and ns3. That is why I got confused.

So when I update my nameservers with the domain registrar should I include the dot or should I not?
Yes. The dot at the end means the name is not relative to the zone. Without the dot, those entries would be interpreted as
awwell.com.awwell.com
or
ns1.digitalocean.com.awwell.com
as if they were subdomains of awwell.com.
