The upgrade from 16.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS is not supported yet.  It
should come in about a month with 18.04.1.  You can force it if you
want to, but I would recommend waiting until it has been debugged.  If
you do want to upgrade at the moment, you should do it stepwise: 16.04
=> 16.10 => 17.04 => 17.10 => 18.04.  Which may not be possible as I
believe that 16.10 is no longer supported, but 16.04 LTS has been
supported and may have changes that do not upgrade to 16.10 now.  It
was like that for the 14.04 LTS to 16.04 LTS upgrade - people had
problems until it was properly supported with 16.04.1.
