As others have indicated, I suggest you wait a while, till 18.04.1, 
possibly later, there are some mythtv/packaging changes required (mythtv 
itself is ok).

I did do several in-place upgrades (Xubuntu 16.04 to 18.04) on a couple 
of mythtv test systems and they did work, albeit with a few niggles.

I have changed my production mythtv system to Xubuntu 18.04 (Desktop), 
but I did a clean install of the operating system and restored mythtv 
mythconverg database from backup.

A number of mythtv trac tickets have been raised, all have temporary 
work arounds, but require editing/moving files and running commands in a 
terminal session (no real problem if you are experienced in this area, 
not recommended for less experienced users)
