There’s some discussion on this a while ago on GitHub: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8450 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8450>
The problem is likely caused by a corrupt pip installation, and can be resolved by re-initialising pip with the built-in ensurepip module. Once pip is recovered, the suggested upgrade command should work as expected. The comment with a green tick in the thread lists more detailed commands.
