One can try Shutdown computer by Power Button. Disconnect all external drives and connect to charger. Restart and Immediately hold - Shift - key. This does a repair Disk, clears cache files and only loads Apple Software - it will take dome time to load - Normal. This may to may not allow the Upgrade process to complete.

An update for High Sierra Ended in November 2020 and nothing newer. If you mean UpGrade - that is way different. Which New Version of macOS was being installed ?
