So you need the mongodb repo GPG key importing and comment out the old-release lines in /etc/apt/sources.list as a good start

There are several errors in the package management configuration file (errors in server names, wrong release name, ...)

For being able to help we need some more information.
What is the output of the command (to be executed in a terminal window):

cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list

Open a terminal window and issue the command

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Provide your password when asked for it, and an editor will open with the config file loaded.
Replace all strings old-releases.ubuntu.com by archive.ubuntu.com
In lines 39 to 44 (those containing "jammy-security") change the server name to security.ubuntu.com
Save the file and close the editor.

There are more errors in other files; for giving repair instructions for those please provide the output that you receive for the command

find /etc/apt -name '*.list' -exec bash -c 'echo -e "\n$1\n"; cat -n "$1"' _ '{}' \;

1. Sorry for not being clear enough, but you misinterpreted one of my instructions.

You changed also a wrong part in lines 39-44

Please repeat editing the file and change lines 39 to 44 to:

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security main restricted
# deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security universe
# deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security multiverse
# deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security multiverse

2. Now I am a bit astonished.
You "apt update" output shows references to mongodb and focal, but these are not visible in your output above.
Did you delete them?

What is the output of the command

ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

Oh i am sorry like i said i am new to this.
I did it correctly this time and sudo apt update worked.

ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
total 0

If "apt update" does not show errors any more, then the question can be marked as "solved", unless you have further questions.
