@NikDev, You might give php v5.6 a try if v7.2 still gives you trouble. As far as upgrading, I would recommend going here: https://craftcms.com/docs/3.x/upgrade.html. The ease of updating will have to do a lot with the complexity of the site.

That could be related to the version of PHP on your server being too new for the version of Craft you're using.

I'm sure you're aware, but Craft 2 is no longer supported; I'd recommend updating to 3 (ideally 4) as soon as possible. Craft 3 and 4 also support exporting from the control panel natively without plugins.
