No.


iOS is only updated directly, or via a Mac or Windows system.


If you don’t have enough internal storage on your iPhone or iPad (as I’d infer), either free up more, and possibly using the external storage to off-load some of what you have, or use a Mac or Windows computer to perform the update.
