Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

First, Shut down or restart your Mac - Apple Support, then try to Update macOS on Mac - Apple Support again.

If the issue persists, Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support and try to Update macOS on Mac - Apple Support again.

You can also keep an eye on the Apple System Status and check it for issues here: Apple - Support - System Status.

Cheers,

Jack
