A MacBook Pro 2018 is compatible with macOS Sonoma. If you can't upgrade, try these various solutions:

Download the upgrade from the App Store : App Store - macOS Sonoma.
Start your Mac in Safe Mode and do the upgrade: Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support.
Start your Mac in recovery mode using the Option-Command-R key combination. This should offer you the latest version of macOS compatible with your Mac. For more informations: How to reinstall macOS - Apple Support.
Create a bootable key to install the upgrade: Create a bootable installer for macOS - Apple Support.
