You create a live system with persistence using a ISO writing tool that can create it.
The Lubuntu calamares install will make a full install, and will not create a live system as it's an installer, not a ISO writer (ISO writing software is used to create live systems with or without persistence).
If you've not met the requirements for a dialog in calamares, the NEXT button will not show, this is by design.
You provided no clear indication of which screen you're using (via link to page etc) but as I believe you're trying to do something the calamares installer isn't designed for, a unclickable NEXT button could have been expected.
Calamares docs can be read here - https://calamares.io/docs/users-guide/
Lubuntu's manual (for 23.04 currently) can be read here - https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/1/Installing_lubuntu.html
If I wanted to create a Lubuntu live system with persistence, I'd use
mkusbto create the system, refer https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb/persistent for more details. Other writing tools exist though too.

1I note @sudodus has answered a post on our discourse (https://discourse.lubuntu.me/t/create-persistent-usb-with-manual-install/1498) and points to an answer he gave on this site - https://askubuntu.com/questions/1181854/how-is-it-easier-to-make-a-persistent-live-drive-with-ubuntu-19-10 so this may be worth a look; even duplicate for other close-voters too !! – guiverc May 23 '23 at 00:00

I wrote this answer as mostly I was too wordy/long for a comment.. If my understanding of what the OP wants is correct, there is no better answer.. as we don't know the OS the OP used to create the thumb-drive, thus sudodus' answer in my last comment may not be helpful... we don't have enough details for more than what I've provided here I believe. – guiverc May 23 '23 at 00:02

Key is you are using an install (which installs the full system) to write an ISO to thumb-drive which isn't its drive. You want a live (ie. uninstalled system) so want it before it's installed, but want persistence added to your live system. That is done via the software that writes an ISO to media (usually called writer or burner and never *installer). This isn't GNU/Linux stuff; just IT/tech stuff as its the ~same terms with windows/mac/BSD & other OSes; but hey it's still 'new' until we've done it a few times. Keep trying. – guiverc May 23 '23 at 22:40
