So im having an issue trying to upgrade my lubuntu version from 16.10 (yakkety) to 17.10 (artful).

I tried do-release-upgrade but this is what i get.

An upgrade from 'yakkety' to 'artful' is not supported with this tool.

Am i out of luck in ability to upgrade it?

The underlying issue you have is that do-release-upgrade only upgrades to the next release in the same series -- so 16.10 could upgrade to 17.04, while 14.04 could upgrade to 16.04 (LTS series).

The simplest way to fix this is to do a clean install of 17.10, and then upgrade that when the next upgrade becomes available, rather than waiting until the one after as you've done here.
