You’ve not provided any details of your iPad model - or the currently installed version of iOS/iPadOS.


Common causes for update difficulties are (a) your iPad is too old or incompatible with later versions of iOS, or (b) you have insufficient space in which to download, unpack and install an available update.


You can find details of your iPad model and installed version of iOS here:

Settings > General > About
