It depends upon which version of Ubuntu you are running, and which method you used to install your Vbox host.

I'd recommend a backup of all your virtual machines first hand.
They can be found in /home/user/VirtualBox VMs by default, if you can't find them, open VirtualBox, do Ctrl + G and you can see the "Default Machine Folder", this is where your virtual machines are located.
Now you need to uninstall VirtualBox:
sudo apt autoremove --purge virtualbox*
Download the latest version of VirtualBox from here for your distribution.
This installation should work on most Distros, so try to run:
sudo apt install /path/to/.deb/file/

You shouldn't lose your settings when you upgrade VirtualBox. If you are worried about losing your configuration or VM data, back up the "Virtual VMs" directory, Usually located at /home/userDirectory/Virtual VMs/
I suggest that you uninstall the package and install from the Oracle website.
Download from their webpage: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
Uninstall using:
sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-5.0
Install with:
sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-5.2.x.x.x.x.x-xxxxxx~Ubuntu~XXXXX_amd64.deb
