Your Ubuntu system is damaged after an upgrade, and you only need your website. You can try restoring it by reinstalling the OS and then transferring the site files. Alternatively, you might be able to recover the website by copying essential files from the old system and installing them on a fresh Ubuntu. Let me know if you need step-by-step guidance.

I utilized Apache for the platform, integrated with various databases to support data management. The site was developed with a focus on clarity and functionality, aiming to provide a seamless experience for users. Its creation involved careful planning and attention to detail, ensuring it meets the needs of its audience effectively.

What kind of website? If it's just HTML and php, then you can just copy from the /var/www directory. If it had database involvement, it is much more involved, and you'd probably want to head to a dedicated linux forum and start asking questions there. I'd recommend using an Ubuntu live USB to recover the files from the corrupted install though. You don't want to use windows to copy the files as it may not even be able to read the partition, and even if it can, it wouldn't be able to keep the proper file permissions to work again on another ubuntu server.

WordPress site built with Apache... I believe a database exists, similar to the issue I faced before. Someone helped me fix it earlier.

You probably have a MySQL database. I managed to restore one before by ensuring all versions aligned perfectly, though it was mostly luck. Consider checking the Wordpress forums for help. Also, remember @zombienerd's tip to use a live USB instead of Windows.

Consider a backup of the image first.

I attempted to upgrade to the latest Ubuntu version but encountered several issues, resulting in a complete crash at startup with no graphical interface and safe mode not helping. I suspect the drive cloning process might work, but I'm unsure how to perform it correctly across all my Windows systems or if it will function properly even when done via Windows.

Does the drive support multiple operating systems?
