I would like to upgrade my MacBook Pro (13-inch, late 2011), to the most recent OS. Currently running OS X El Capitan 10.11.6. (16 GB Memory and 500GB storage installed approx 3 years ago). Can I upgrade to Mojave, and then step my way up through the OSs?

No you cannot upgrade to macOS Mojave or any other newer OS.
The last OS you can upgrade your 2011 mac is macOS High Sierra 10.13.6.
For High Sierra,
Open Safari and click on this link,
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211683
Go to the Use Safari to download macOS and click on macOS High Sierra.
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 ******.app.
Move it to the Trash, empty the Trash.
Restart, click on the link again, the App Store should say ‘Get' or 'Download'.
