I have an old Dell Latitude-Intel® Core™2 Duo 2.00 GHz laptop.
I have installed Ubuntu 16.04.5 Desktop (32-bit) and but got stuck at the terminal.
It will not go further or into desktop screen. Did I install the wrong ISO or am I missing something?

It appears that you have installed Ubuntu Server, version 16.04.3 and that this is not what you had intended. The server versions of Ubuntu do not have a pre-installed desktop.
Based on what you have told us of your computer, I would suggest Lubuntu, a lighter version of Ubuntu for your computer, but regular Ubuntu or Ubuntu-Gnome should work as well. You will need to download the 'desktop' versions of Ubuntu, and install one of them.
All of the Ubuntu versions can be found at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/, and a guide to installing Ubuntu is on AskUbuntu at How do I install Ubuntu?
