Upgrades from pure HDD to an OEM NVMe SSD are not possible. You would have to ask your local AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) if they are willing to use a non-original part (a 3rd party SATA SSD) when replacing the HDD.

If you want an SSD and don't want to risk an unauthorized upgrader you could switch to an external USB SSD.

Classic symptoms of a failing HD and the report confirms the hunch. Please take it to your local Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider to be diagnosed and repaired.
