Following is my **/etc/apt/sources.list**

# newer versions of the distribution.
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy main restricted

Open a terminal.

Edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the invalid entries for impish and old-release.

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Save the file and retry apt upgrade.
