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


With the benefit of more information, we may be able to provide more specific guidance.


Here is Apple’s support pages for updating iOS:

Update your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support

If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch won’t update - Apple Support
