Initially, my laptop (hp pavilion) with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS had the problem of no menu, no unity, no launcher, I tried the solution and it didn't work very well so I updated my Ubuntu in hope that everything will be fixed but now, i get the same thing. My terminal is showing Ubuntu 18.04 LTS but desktop is showing 16.04 LTS.
Here are the photos of both situations.

Can you please edit your question with a screenshot of both version reports (unless your terminal one is a TTY)? You could consider doing a clean install, however you'd lose your programs, documents, pictures, and other data.

I have added the photos. As I have mentioned, my unity was not working so, no launcher and no terminal, I did the whole update with tty1

And about the clean install, no, there's way too much files in there.

Ok, your photo of the login screen shows that you are using Unity Greeter. That's a bit baffling since 18.04 uses gdm (not lightdm) and some other greeter. Did you change that on purpose?

Did the upgrade get canceled while it was running, possibly due to a powercut? If so, perhaps you should try restarting the upgrade while logged in from a TTY.
