The snap store application cannot be updated while it is running.
Close the Ubuntu-software app and wait.
The update will be tried again periodically in the background and sooner or later will succeed.

If you want, you can manually force the update by opening a terminal window and issuing the command
sudo snap refresh

Hence, "unable to update snap store"
Terminal:
killall snap-store
sudo snap refresh
   -then-
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
