You are using an old Ubuntu and no longer gets supported from Canonical. Open the Terminal using the key combination Ctrl+Alt+T and enter the command:
sudo sed -i -re 's/([a-z]{2}\.)?archive.ubuntu.com|security.ubuntu.com/old-releases.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
It will replace all archive.ubuntu.com -> old-releases.ubuntu.com. This repository old-releases.ubuntu.com maintains packages for old Ubuntu versions.
And then enter the command
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
to fetch the new lists.
Finally, restart your ubuntu upgrade.
Note: Instating of using GUI, you can launch following commands one by one to get it to upgrade:
sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
sudo do-release-upgrade -d
