    My-atix The Connect-PnPOnline cmdlet has a -ReturnConnection parameter which will return the connection object you are looking for.

     

    Change line 5 in your sample above to 

    $webConnect = Connect-PnPOnline -Url $webUrl -Interactive -ReturnConnection

     

    Good luck!

"Connect-PnPOnline" does not return a connection object.
Use "Get-PnPConnection" to get the current connection and store it as a variable

Connect-PnPOnline -Url $webUrl -Interactive
$webConnect = Get-PnPConnection
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $templateSiteUrl -Interactive
$tplSiteConnect = Get-PnPConnection

Get-PnPWeb -Connection $webConnect
Get-PnPWeb -Connection $tplSiteConnect


Best Regards,
Sven
