There is a line on the output of your command that reads:
"197 additional updates are available with UA Infrastructure ESM"

It appears that you are running a very old very of your OS.

It's essentially saying that you need an Extended support contract in order to continue to get updates to your OS
https://ubuntu.com/blog/ubuntu-14-04-esm-support

I also noticed that you have "apt list --upgradable", but it's spelled "upgradeable", so that's probably why you got the list of options instead of a list of upgradeable packages.

So I ran: sudo apt dist-upgrade again and got this result:

197 additional updates are available with UA Infrastructure ESM.
To see these additional updates run: apt list --upgradable
See https://ubuntu.com/advantage or run: sudo ua status

Then I ran sudo apt list --upgradable
and got the long list of options that one sees when
running sudo apt full-upgrade

But I don't know which of those options I should try to use
or how to use them (in what sequence).


---------------
I did the apt dist-upgrade and got these error messages:

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.4.0-148-generic (x86_64)
Error! Module version 4.3.40_Ubuntu for vboxguest.ko
Error! Module version 4.3.40_Ubuntu for vboxsf.ko
Error! Module version 4.3.40_Ubuntu for vboxvideo.ko
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.4.0-148-generic (x86_64)

I captured and could post the entire process,
but noticed these errors as the process scrolled by.

And, after running all this, chrome still opens to
a blank or black screen but with the title bar showing
the page to which it opened.

Everything was working fine before I did the first
regular update/upgrade yesterday. Bummer.

apt upgrade only does a partial upgrade on your system and if that's
all you do, your system can get into a place where dependencies get
out of wack and the system breaks.

instead do:
apt full-upgrade
or
apt dist-upgrade
