That's i386.

It means you're running 32-bit Ubuntu. That is basically dead now. You
need to switch to 64-bit.

No, you cannot upgrade directly.

The best path is, if you were wise and kept /home on a separate
partition, to install a new version and use the same /home filesystem.

If you didn't, well, you _could_ move it, but that is hard.

A better bet is to get a few external drives big enough to back up all
your stuff in /home, make at least 2 and preferably 3 copies, then
reformat and reinstall a new version, restore your /home directories'
contents, and then re-install any programs you had.
