See the close link that will show up soon on how to deal with this type of issues. short answer: make a backup of your own documents and re-install. Oh and you can make the backup from the live session in case your system is "cracked". – Rinzwind Jun 08 '17 at 17:31

You are running 12.04 LTS, the last LTS version is: 16.04 and you can't go from 12.04 to 16.04.
You should first upgrade to 14.04 and then go for 16.04. However I suggest you to do a fresh install, many things has been changed since 12.04 so upgrade a broken system is going to bring you more problems.
You can use sudo do-release-upgrade to upgrade your Ubuntu.

Upgrading a broken system is probably impossible (i.e. upgrade won't succeed). And technically, this question is off topic, as 12.04 is EOL since April 28, 2017. – Zeiss Ikon Jun 08 '17 at 17:26
