Hi, I just want to ask that is it free to install Catalina Software at Apple Store? You know, my Mac Pro is a 2017 edition so of course, the apple care has expired. However, I still want to upgrade my Mac to Catalina version but I can not do it by my own. Thanks for answering it btw.

Yes it is free to upgrade to Catalina.
Open your Safari browser and click on the link below, Firefox will not work.
How to upgrade to macOS Catalina – Apple Support
Go to Section 4 and click on Get macOS Catalina
This will redirect you to the App Store Catalina download page,
it should say Get or Download.
Before upgrading make a full back up of your Mac.
Check that third party apps you use have updates available for the new OS.
Check that your printers/ scanners etc have updated drivers and software available for the new OS.
Connect your mac to your router via cable rather than rely on WiFi.
Do not use your mac while it is downloading
and do not use any other devices that share the same internet connection.
If the App Store says ‘Open’ then it is detecting a previous download of the install app
go to the Applications folder locate Install macOS Catalina.app.
Move it to the Trash, empty the Trash.
Restart, click on the link again, the App Store should say ‘Get' or 'Download'.
If you are considering upgrading to Catalina be warned that it does not support 32bit apps.
Your Mac is probably running 32bit apps and these will need to be updated to 64bit apps,
some updates may be free, some may be paid. Use this app to discover which apps you have
are 32bit, https://www.stclairsoft.com/Go64/. Once the list has been created you can then
contact the developers of the apps to see if they provide 64bit updates.

I believe the user is asking if it's free to upgrade at an Apple Store.
So they are, are any Apple Stores open.
Some are.
