The soft link apt_pkg.so was pointing to apt_pkg.cpython-38m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so which did not exist so I changed it to
apt_pkg.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so and that was one part to fix the problem.
The other part was change the soft link python3 to point to python3.6m instead of python3.8m
Then I was able to update. I found out that ubuntu 18.04 uses python3.6 as the python for the system scripts
When I used python3.8 for my scripts I thought I could update the apt_get.so but nope.
Everything works now. Keep fingers crossed.
