iPad, iOS 9
The tags indicate you have an iPad with iOS 9.x installed. If you cannot update your iPad beyond iOS 9.3.5/6, then you have either iPad 2/3 or mini 1.
Your iPad cannot update to iOS 10 or later due to your internal hardware being too old to support it.
Apple ended major software update support for these iPads in September 2016 - although Apple received security updates - with the most recent being iOS 9.3.6, released July 2019 for cellular models.
App developers have dropped support for 32-bit devices and those preceding iOS 11/12/13 in the apps, making the usability of the iPads limited.
These iPads are 11-12 years old.
All models from 2015 or later (except iPad mini 4) are capable of supporting iPadOS 16.
You may consider buying a new iPad. Even the entry-level iPad 9 can run the latest iPadOS version, iPadOS 16.5.
Here is a list of unsupported iPads with max iPadOS supported:

Whether or not you are able to update any iPad to a newer version of iOS/iPadOS will be dictated by the iPad model - and the currently installed version of iOS. You can find this information here:
Settings > General > About

Here is a list of the highest version of iOS supported by the older models of iPad (for simplicity - “generations” are shortened to a number) that are restricted in their ability to be updated:
32-bit devices (obsolete)
iPad1 - iOS 5.1.1
iPad2, iPad3 and iPad mini1 - iOS 9.3.5 (WiFi Only models), iOS 9.3.6 (WiFi+Cellular)
iPad4 - iOS 10.3.3 (WiFi Only), iOS 10.3.4 (WiFi+Cellular)
64-bit devices
iPad Air1, iPad mini2 and iPad mini3 - iOS 12.5.7
iPad Air2, iPad mini4 - iPadOS 15.7.6
Newer models are all able to be updated to the current version, iPadOS 16.5
If your iPad is capable of update to a more recent version of iOS/iPadOS than is currently installed, these support pages outline both the available methods by which the update can be performed - and troubleshooting should you experience difficulties:
Update your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support
If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch won’t update - Apple Support
iOS update and restore errors – Apple Support
If an update is available for your iPad, it will always be to the most recent compatible release for your iPad. Updates are cumulative; intermediate versions will not be available.
Be aware that while an iPad may be capable of update, in some circumstances you may need to use a computer to perform the update. To do so, you will need access to either a Windows PC (with iTunes for Windows installed) or a Mac (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of macOS). Ensure that your installed version of iTunes has been updated to the most recent version; the essential device drivers are included.
Download and use iTunes for Windows – Apple Support
Update to the latest version of iTunes – Apple Support
Update software on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch in iTunes on PC - Apple Support
If you have a beta profile installed, ensure this has been removed from your iPad - as, otherwise, installation of production software updates may be inhibited. This support page provides the necessary information to remove the beta from your iPad:
How to uninstall iOS beta software - Apple Support
You should note that for your iPad to install an available update, its battery must be charged to at least 50% capacity - and/or be connected to its Power Adapter. Similarly, the iPad can only be updated over a standard WiFi connection - or be updated by a PC or Mac using iTunes or Finder - over a USB connection.
