Can't update from 16.04 to 18.04
My ubuntu 16.04 keeps popping up a screen saying "new version available, do you want to update to 18.04?" but after I click yes nothing happens. Is there any other way to update to 18.04?

Don't do it. In many cases you won't be able to boot after this upgrade. At least you need to have a full backup.

@Pilot6 I agree with doing research to make sure that the hardware/space requirements comply before performing an upgrade, but the OP is asking for additional ways to upgrade.

Hardware/space is not enough. Some luck is also needed. I have lots of space, etc, but can't upgrade. There is too much difference between 16.04 and 18.04.

Open a terminal and try the commanddo-release-upgrade. The upgrade seems likely to fail gracefully, but it will emit a lot of helpful clues while it fails. Please edit your question to include the complete output, properly formatted.

Refer to this page to verify your system build meets the Ubuntu 18.04 Installation/System Requirements.
To upgrade using the command line instead of the graphical update manager:
sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo apt install update-manager-core
do-release-upgrade
After completion, to verify the installation is successful, do:
lsb_release -a
