Ok what worked for me to fix it is by reinstalling the operating system. I also deleted parallels desktop because i read some things about vm software messing up this update, but basically i just followed this link https://support.apple.com/kb/HT204904

With these being the more direct instructions

1 Restart your Mac and immediately press and hold these keys: option, Command (⌘) and R. 

2 Release the keys when you see an Apple logo, spinning globe, or other startup screen.

3 You might be prompted to enter a password, such as a firmware password or the password of a user who is an administrator of this Mac. Enter the requested

4. Startup is complete when you see the utilities window

Just backup your files first and create a time machine backup if you can. I didn’t lose anything however. Also make sure you have a stable internet connection throughout.
