Lubuntu 18.04 has been out of support for a while now. It no longer gets updates - though you can get some Ubuntu updates for it still. The Lubuntu-specific bits no longer get security patches or anything of that nature.

Rather than messing about with this, I'd suggest starting over with an OS that's still supported.

If you need 32 bit, that's gonna limit you to a smaller number of distro choices. Lubuntu (and Ubuntu) no longer support 32 bits with recent releases. Most anything modern, as in modern computers, is 64 bit and has been for some time now.

If you want to use Lubuntu, and I'm on the dev team for Lubuntu, then you'll most likely want the latest LTS version, which is 22.04 and available at lubuntu.me (not lubuntu.net).

Try holding down CTRL + ALT + F1 <or> F2 all at once to get a terminal.
If you get a terminal or all black screen with a prompt type this
Code: 
sudo shutdown -h now

IF you don't get a terminal or the command-line prompt with prompt then the only option is a hard shut down.

The version of Lubuntu that you installed isn't supported and that is most likely why your pc is in the state it's in.
Trying the combo of those keys (if it works) and running that command will either work or it will not.

IF the shutdown command works it will shut your pc down completely.

Do not reboot w/o a fresh Linux .iso of 32-bit made bootable on a pendrive that's been verified.
And when you plug in that pendrive make sure in the BIOS that it is the first choice in the Boot Menu.
