How to Force Update [Duplicate]

So I've been getting this error: E: The repository ' focal Release' does not have a Release file. N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

Can someone please help? Oh, I'm on ubuntu 20.04
