Hi Paul, There are some instructions for upgrading from 16.04 & 17.10 to 18.04 here (which seems to be what you have done):
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_16.04_LTS_or_17.10 As you have hit errors, it might be better to follow the Ubuntu Server update instructions and do a "sudo do-release-upgrade" on the command line. Then it might be easier to copy and paste any error messages on an email to the list. There are places you can retrieve the apt logs, but you probably won't need to if the error is obvious to us here.
