A 5th Generation iPod cannot update beyond iOS 9.3.5. That is as far as it goes.

You may be able to get compatible versions of the apps. See here for details: Downloading Older iOS 9.3.5 Versions of Apps ONLY Available Now for iOS 10 or Later

iOS 9.3.5 is the last update that you can do on your iPod fifth generation.
