Your options are limited.
Your best option may be now just to reinstall the latest version of Ubuntu 22.04LTS without losing data in the Home folder as outlined in this old but still relevant Q&A.
But, please do ensure that you have first backed up any essential data you wish to retain before progressing further no matter which option you choose.

Ok read it. Its very old... Do you think i can just install the 22.04? ,From iso? Is there a way to upgrade from the iso? – shahaf mobile Jun 26 '22 at 20:21

"Is there a way to upgrade from the iso?" not that I can think of. Your best option is to install 22.04 LTS from scratch but note the caveats about backups before doing anything if you have important data to retain. – graham Jun 27 '22 at 09:07

On Kubuntu I was able to get the upgrade to run by going into Software Sources (Discover -> Settings -> Software Sources) and changing the download mirror to "main server" from what it had been. Then I opened a terminal and ran apt upgrade and then pkexec do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE.

That is copied from the official upgrade guide here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JammyUpgrades/Kubuntu. They also have a terminal-only option which uses
sudo. I just prefer the partial-GUI option. – Pockets Aug 10 '22 at 01:32
sudo apt updateandsudo apt dist-upgradeandsudo do-release-upgradeIt's only a few days off, I'm not sure it makes a difference. – mchid Jun 23 '22 at 10:21-d) release-upgrades from 21.10 to 22.04 have not begun yet. They will start in early August, same as LTS-to-LTS release-upgrades, when 22.04.1 becomes available. – user535733 Jun 23 '22 at 13:10
