Is this concerning your iPhone?
Sometimes, a restart will help solve these issues.
If you have a Mac or PC available, you can try updating it tethered to a computer, that will sometimes solve issues with on device updates and prevent errors if you don't have enough storage available on your phone etc.
These are the instructions for updating with a computer...
if you're using a Mac with macOS Catalina or later
if you're using a Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier or a Windows PC
If its concerning an iPad or Mac, please post back.
