Only a fresh install from an ISO file is now possible.

I’m in the Ubuntu News team, and we [re-]posted an announcement for the release of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS which includes the following
Users of Ubuntu 23.10 will soon be offered an automatic upgrade to 24.04. Users of 22.04 LTS will be offered the automatic upgrade when 24.04.1 LTS is released, which is scheduled for the 15th of August. For further information about upgrading, see:
The Lubuntu Release Notes of 24.04 LTS include a link to the official Ubuntu release notes, which include the exact text I’ve quoted above.
The release of Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS is scheduled for 15 August 2024; the release-upgrade I’d expect to open after that date (even though the wording I’ve quoted does not include the word ‘after’)
[Releases are always a Thursday; but upgrade taps are usually not opened until early the following week, but the Ubuntu Release team decide based on factual evidence of QA & bugs reported by users]

For many of us, 15 August 2024 has come and gone, but I was careful in my prior post to highlight after as the date was the release of the ISO itself, the ‘taps’ usually being turned on after meetings/discussions discussing release-upgrade status & often the next week (or later).
The important date is now 29-August-2024, given the ISO release has been pushed back two weeks.
If anyone wants to monitor this progress, they can do so at this thread
For those wanting to release-upgrade from Lubuntu 22.04 LTS to Lubuntu 24.04(.1) LTS, please take special note of the “Upgrade blockers” section, as this page will show items that you can expect to get crossed off in due course.
