Updating iPhone 6 Plus Past iOS12:
This is not an Option:
You iPhone model (6 Plus) is incompatible with iOS13 and/or iOS14 and/or iOS15, and/or iOS16. This is because your iPhone model (6 Plus)does not meet the hardware requirements for this iOS version(s). So, you may need to get a SIM card made for iOS12 and/or before.
For future reference...
Troubleshooting iPhone Storage:
Internal storage cannot be upgraded. It is what it is. So, the maximum internal storage capacity never increases, even if you upgraded your iCloud plan. Learn More here: What's the Difference Between Device Storage and iCloud Storage? Apple Support. So, you'll just have to clear space, and then perform the upgrade.
So, what to do:
Clear Space:
Try clearing internal storage though use of the following:
What Space to Clear:
A. Clear Temporary Internet Files:
Clear your Temporary Internet Files(Cookies & Cache) of Safari:
And...
B. Clean TV and Music Libraries:
Remove all unneeded files from your TV and Music Libraries. Full-Movies take up 2-4GB typically, and a bunch of those would take up a load of storage, ideally. So, if you have any movies that are not needed, then delete them.
And...
C. "Other" being the Culprit:
Use this Link: How to Check the Storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support. The storage named "Other" is the grey bar. So, to clear that, this is what to perform: Clear Other storage on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
