Is your 'home' folder installed in separate partition? If yes, then you can reinstall ubuntu 18.04 from the iso with same home folder. I upgraded to 18.04 from 16.04 but the texts and other themes were not proper. I have the 'home' folder in a different partitions. So I reinstalled the OS with same home folder. I had to install the softwares only and others settings and configurations remained same.

This was sort of expected, as an upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 isn't ready yet. It should be ready by "late July".
This is from 18.04's release notes:
Upgrading from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS or 17.10
Upgrades from 17.10 will not be enabled until a few days after 18.04's release. Upgrades from 16.04 LTS will not be enabled until a few days after the 18.04.1 release expected in late July.

I was getting "Failed to Authenticate" error while on upgrade with no password field in the form, it even showed 18.04 LTS on login screen. The error was like toast message on Android devices , keeps stacking up. I thought I had no option but to wait till July like in accepted option, but the below solution worked
I hit the enter multiple times , after like 20 attempts the "Failed to Authenticate" toast vanished and the screen was back to upgrade screen which was still in progress , Seems it was asking for password for some changes or something(I dont have access to logs now)
Finally upgrade was complete some clean up did happen on obsolete packages , now tested with restarted and logoff-login, I am able to login with Bionic Beaver without issues.

Yeah, hitting enter does nothing. The useful part of this answer is that the update may still be in progress. Ctrl-Alt-F6, login, and checksudo apt dist-upgrade, if it can't lock the root process then it's still upgrading. Annoying, because they explicitly state "the lock screen will be disabled", which any user will interpret as "I WILL NOT SEE A LOCK SCREEN"

Is your 'home' folder installed in separate partition? If yes, then you can reinstall ubuntu 18.04 from the iso with same home folder. I upgraded to 18.04 from 16.04 but the texts and other themes were not proper. I have the 'home' folder in a different partitions. So I reinstalled the OS with same home folder. I had to install the softwares only and others settings and configurations remained same.
