Remove any beta profile that might be present, remove any add-on VPN client app, force a restart, connect to Wi-Fi, and try the update again.

As correctly mentioned above, you should then get offered iOS 15.7.1. You won’t get offered the most recent iOS 16.1.1 on an iPhone 7, as that requires iPhone 8 or newer.
