At first I couldn't update the Web Interface but running the following commands that I found online fixed the Web Interface update.

sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/admin

sudo git clone GitHub - pi-hole/web: Pi-hole Dashboard for stats and more /var/www/html/admin

pihole -up

Solved it, by running sudo rm -f .git/index.
