Step1. Check your Internet connection. If it is bad, switch to a local mirror. Also check whether your device is correctly set up to connect to the Internet.

Step2. remove all PPAs and try sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

Step3. try manually changing xenial to bionic in /etc/apt/sources.list and all files in etc/apt/sources.d, and then sudo apt update. I have not tried this before because this is the "debian way", but it should work. Though as a precaution you should back your files up.
