If you want to do this from the GUI, take the following steps:

  • Open the "Software & Updates" setting in System Settings.
  • Select the third tab, called "Updates."
  • Set the "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version" dropdown menu to "For any new version."
  • Press Alt+F2 and type in "update-manager -cd" (without the quotes) into the command box.
  • Update Manager should open up and tell you: New distribution release '18.04' is available.
  • If not, you can also use "/usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/check-new-release-gtk".
  • Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions.

If you just can't wait for the final release, you can already move up to the beta by using this command:

  • $ sudo do-release-upgrade -d
