I think your OS update is corrupted and will not properly install. I suggest you find the file, most likely in the Applications folder, and move it to the Trash and empty it. Then download a new file, not using Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is too slow for these very large files and it often fails. Instead use a wired Ethernet connection and it should work. The download may take up to 45 minutes, more or less and then the installation can take up to an hour, more or less, with multiple restarts. Good luck.
