URL not found when upgrading

Question

I want to upgrade my version of ubuntu from 14.04 LTS to the latest. First, I have to update from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to 16 LTS, but when I try to upgrade my system I've got these errors:

W:Imposible to get http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found 
, W:Imposible to get http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found 
, E:It has been impossible to download some index files or have been ommited or have been used other olders.

My source.list is:

How can I update from ubuntu 14.04 LTS to Ubuntu 16 LTS without errors? What am I doing wrong?

EDIT I:

How trusty version is still supported I have changed my sources.list but I've got still get the same error :(

I don't know what happend :(

EDIT II:

In my /etc/apt/sources.list.d folder I've got these files:

EDIT III:

I have followed the tips of @Kulfy and it doesn't work. Here is my screen caps with the state of my settings:

The system gave me like best server: http://la-mirrors.evowise.com/ubuntu

What I've got in my update tab is:

And I've got this new error. It says that the error maybe caused by:

Try to update to an Ubuntu version not published yet.
To be executing the actual version and not published yet.
Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubutu

If none of this applies, report this error using the command "ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core" in a terminal.

Is there any solution to my problem? :(

Edit IV:

During the process of upgrading in the console I've got this exit:

Hi @Kulfy!!! Thanks for your help!! I have changed my sources.list but I've got the same error :( I have modified my original post. — José Carlos, Commented Mar 11, 2019 at 13:01
Yes!!! I have updated my original post with the content of this folder @Kulfy — José Carlos, Commented Mar 11, 2019 at 15:07
Thank you for your help!!! But now, I've got another different error :( I'm going to update my original post. — José Carlos, Commented Mar 11, 2019 at 15:56

Trusty Tahr (Ubuntu 14.04) is supported till April '19. Its repository isn't migrated to old-releases yet. Moreover, there is no URL like http://es.old-releases.ubuntu.com/ (at least I can't connect to it from a browser).

Since you want to do a release upgrade, 3rd party repositories (which can also be found in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ folder) must be disabled.

You need to either restore your repository information (sources.list) to default and disable 3rd party repositories. For this, you can use the easiest method, GUI method.

Open Software and Updates app.
Select the Updates you want to receive (main, universe, multiverse, restricted).
Disable third party repositories from Other software tab.

If you want to achieve it using CLI method (preferably for servers):

To restore default repositories, run,

echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main universe restricted multiverse" |  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/null

To disable third party repositories, run,

sudo sed -i 's/^/#/' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

Now you got an error like:

Try to update to an Ubuntu version not published yet.

To be executing the actual version and not published yet.

Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu

These errors are generally due to some contradiction in package versions which are mostly installed from 3rd party repository. The upgrade will break the packages or vice versa, so upgrade isn't attempted. Disabling 3rd party repository as well as removing packages installed from those repositories should be done to get the upgrade successful.

Here, you had php5 installed from a 3rd party repository. Remove that using:

sudo apt remove php5

Try upgrade again:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo do-release-upgrade

Comments suggest that your issue has already been solved but here are some additional hints for future readers that may hit the same problem.

The error messages you got were

W:Imposible to get http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found 
, W:Imposible to get http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found 
, E:It has been impossible to download some index files or have been ommited or have been used other olders.

and the important part is http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/stable/main/... where the part that you have word stable should be one of the release names of Ubuntu. You can browse http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ for possible choices but in this case, it should probably be trusty instead of stable.

Codenames such as stable or unstable are used by Debian but not by Ubuntu. I guess you have accidentally added some Debian repositories to your Ubuntu system (which is possible to do and in some cases you might even want to do that but the fact that you didn't understand the error messages above suggests that you didn't have this on purpose).

The repositories that the system uses are kept in file /etc/apt/sources.list and inside directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d. To find out which file contains the incorrect source definition you can do following in the terminal:

grep -nri stable /etc/apt/sources.list.d /etc/apt/sources.list

Once you find the file and line number of the problematic repository source, you can either fix the repository address or remove/disable the repository. Disabling the repository can be done by adding `# " at the start of the line that roughly looks like

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu stable main

After disabling this repository, the line should look like this instead:

# deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu stable main

After saving the file you can do

sudo apt-get update

without errors.

Thank you for your answer @Mikko Rantalainen!!!
