If you've tried the step-by-step directions from FOSS and it fails, then the alternative is to download the Ubuntu 18.04 ISO and do a clean installation. This has the advantage of removing old Unity packages and settings, since 18.04 uses GNOME.
Of course, this loses all customization and data, so save your data, and also make a disk image, should something go wrong. Having done both upgrades of 16.04 and complete new installations, I find the second choice is faster and easier, despite the disadvantage of requiring data and additional package reinstallation.
