How did you upgrade your operating system?

Try to buy usbc + usb adapter and insert a keyboard and type your encryped key pass code.
However, sounds like a bug.
Edit: If you do a fresh install use the default one.

This command updates the available list of software packages, but does not (on its own) replace the installed software. Would have to use sudo apt upgrade for that, iirc.
Did you install anything else?

Are you running byzantium ?
Did you update at the shell prompt or using the GUI?
I think several users have had this problem over the years. So definitely search for existing topics.
The bare minimum might be to boot Jumpdrive on the phone and check whether the /boot partition is full.
If it was a kernel update then you may also be able to back out of the update from the Jumpdrive environment. Did you notice what was updated? Did the update involve a restart (or indeed two restarts)?

My librem 5 has dual boot to crimson from the SD card dual boot, but on crimson the camera app doesn’t work. I use the camera. For me, that means I don’t want crimson on the Librem 5 yet

Use Jumpdrive to mount the Librem 5’s eMMC, decrypt the LUKS partition, backup any important contents, then reflash with a Byzantium image.
