Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better
The upgrade is not currently open, to avoid systems upgrading and failing to boot post-upgrade due to bug. If you read the release notes - Kubuntu 21.04 release notes - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HirsuteHippo/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu and especially the main release notes Ubuntu 21.04 release notes - https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/hirsute-hippo-release-notes/19221 you'll note "Upgrades from Ubuntu 20.10 to Ubuntu 21.04 are not enabled as it is possible for some systems to end up in an unbootable state if they use EFI version 1.10 - bug 1925010. Release upgrades will be enabled once an updated version of shim is available which is compatible with EFI version 1.10." This applies to all flavors including Kubuntu. I'll refer you to a couple of askubuntu answers I wrote - https://askubuntu.com/questions/1333226/how-can-i-update-to-ubuntu-21-04/1333229#1333229 - https://askubuntu.com/questions/1338429/ubuntu-21-04-update-available-then-disappears/1338851#1338851 You'll note the upgrades look in the file located at https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release which currently does not have the 20.10 upgrade to 21.04 as open; thus the upgrade should not work unless forced (if forced it'll use https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta- release-development instead). I suggest you seek out support for help. eg. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu.
