At this point, preparing for 24.04, it might work simpler to download the bootable installation file and re-install xubuntu. I have found that if you are expecting to continue to use a distribution, expected practice is to upgrade the LTS to the new LTS no more than 6 months after the release of the LTS newer than the one you presently use. The number of people using a 3+ year old version of an Ubuntu derivative to upgrade does not have a great enough sample to properly debug the upgrade process. Even Debian and RHEL have reported problems with an in situ upgrade for 3+ year old version, even on servers.
