First of all export to .OVA + clone your mashine first, avoid to loosing data!
In the cloned environment try these steps:

migrate to python3 (assume your Frappe + ERPNext is already V12):

sudo apt-get install python3-dev
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools python3-pip
alias python=python3
alias pip=pip3

sudo apt-get install python3-dev
bench migrate-env python3
bench restart
bench update - may it this be your first command it depends of your versions

Hope it helps

Because want to update then it should be Ubuntu 16.04 because the latest Ubuntu 18.04 is basically with python3.

python3 is included by default in Ubuntu 18.04 and the command to start the python3 interpreter from the terminal is python3.

Python 2 is no longer installed by default in fresh installations of Ubuntu 18.04 and later. Don’t remove python3 from Ubuntu 18.04 and later.

First have to upgrade python2.7 to python3 (as far as I know at least to python 3.6) then upgrade Ubuntu to 18.04

Ooops, python 2.7 is EOL

Python 3.0 is also deprecated and the oldest version of python that is supported is 3.5. Frappe is testing with 3.6.

As @jannis Mentioned:

Do a fresh install and then restore your database.
There’s no hassle of updating the python and ubuntu.

Hope this helps.

There is some arguments not to onstall a new instance?

The .ova from ERPNext dowload is for try out.

If you plan to use for production then please use a fresh new install in a mashine or in to a VM.
