by updating an app, you pretty much replace the old app with the newer version, unless the apk its heavier/bigger it should'nt decrease your internal memory.

don't worry about that, you can move your apps to your SD card

settings -> applications -> storage use -> tap on "On SD card" select all of them so you can move them to the SD card
