I'm able to ping 91.189.91.26 just fine:

Also, this is my first StackExchange post, so I hope I've done everything right with my post..
Thanks!
Solution 1:
The problem you're facing is basically a problem to reach the IP 91.189.91.26, try restarting your Internet connection and check if you can ping the IP address using this command:
ping 91.189.91.26
In my case it works correctly.
If nothing works for you, try changing the mirror your using to get your updates:
Open your sources.list file using your favorite text editor, in my case nano.
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Locate the text
http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
and replace it with
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
And then run:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
If it still doesn't work, you might try a distribution update:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
If still not working, this is what I've found here
Run the following command to update archive.ubuntu.com and security.ubuntu.com package repository URLs with old-releases.ubuntu.com. Since the normal Ubuntu releases link to the archive.XXX and security.XX URLs, the support will be removed after their live cycle of 9 months and respective repositories moved to old-releases.….
sudo sed -i -e 's/archive.ubuntu.com\|security.ubuntu.com/old-releases.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
Good luck.

Solution 2:
Partial answer...
From the comments...
The user is having problems updating their software repositories.
/etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list files have been modified. They have references to a non-existent arm64 repo.
/etc/apt/sources.list has been replaced with a standard 18.04 version. The errors are decreased.
We're searching /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list files for "binary-arm64" errors now.
Update #1:
The new /etc/apt/sources.list has some wrong stuff. Do these to fix it...
sudo chown root:root /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo chmod 644 /etc/apt/sources.list
Then lets do a gross search for arm64...
sudo grep -r arm64 /etc/apt
Update #2:
Ubuntu was reinstalled, and everything is working fine again, including Virtualbox.
