I run the command sudo do-release-upgrade -d but I get the following message:
upgrades to the development release are only available from the latest supported release
What's the deal? Do I just need to wait a little while longer?

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade
$ sudo apt dist-upgrade
Remove all no longer required packages:
$ sudo apt autoremove
Next, open and edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file and set Prompt=normal to avoid No new release found message. Save the file.
Run:
$ sudo do-release-upgrade
If upgrading before the official 18.10 release date or while the upgrade from 18.04 is still not available use -d to perform upgrade:
$ sudo do-release-upgrade -d

Why the dist-upgrade? What do you expect it to do?
– user535733
Nov 17 at 0:01
from man: dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the expense of less important ones if necessary. So, dist-upgrade command may remove some packages.

Ah, sorry I was unclear about the point: dist-upgrade is used for release-upgrades in Debian, not Ubuntu. That step is superfluous in Ubuntu, and indeed may confuse some folks. The OP has not yet clarified if they want 18.10 or 19.04, so the answer should be clear about each. These kinds of questions usually crop up when the OP is typing incantations that they don't understand.

Suppose you are upgrading from version A to higher version B. Before you upgrade to B, your system must have updated A, as on present date. So, you should update and upgrade the current version (18.04) before you start an upgrade to 18.10.
Issue the commands given below:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade
Now you can upgrade as you were doing (and remember what @guiverc mentioned).
