It is a matter of switching to the gdm display manager (see my answer). An upgrade upgrades installed software, so if you were using lightdm in 16.04, the upgrade will keep you on lightdm (and likely also on the Unity desktop if you were using that).

Ubuntu 16.04 uses lightdm as login manager. This is (obviously) preserved if you upgrade to 18.04. If you prefer to use gdm, you will need to switch from lightdm to gdm. How you can do that is explained elsewhere on Askubuntu. How do I switch from LightDM to GDM?
