I upgraded my Ubuntu 16.04 64bit machine to 18.04 but when I do a uname -sr it shows the old kernel of 4.4.127-0404127 #201804081036
I know the kernel should be 4.15 how can I fix this so the kernel gets upgraded corectly?

This is odd. The current kernel in 16.04 is 4.4.0-122-generic. You need to post more info about the hardware in question, the output ofuname -a, then may be, we can help.

I ran the command below to unhold the kernel but it didn't work.
sudo apt-mark unhold linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic
But when I ran the command below it download and upgraded my kernel.
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt install linux-image-generic
And to check it I used
uname -sr
Linux 4.15.0-20-generic
Success.
On a side note everything was really slow I also had some old KDE files that were causing problems and had to run
balooctl disable
For more information about it here's a link
permanently disable the baloo file indexer
