There is a PPA called WebUpD8 which easily installs Java I suggest you use that but the release of Ubuntu you are using us EOL (end of life) at some point next month
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

After this you will receive no updates and no support from the community (the OS will still function). I suggest you upgrade to 17.04 when you can.

Alternatively, wipe the install off and do a clean install of Xenial (Ubuntu 16.04). Xenial is LTS and supported til April 2021 which is longer than even Ubuntu 17.10 when it is released in October

Can you help with this problem?
