        You probably edited the file referenced in the error screen (scriptmodules/emulators/atari800.sh). To get over this error, exit ES, enter the RetroPie-Setup folder and reset the file to its original content:

        cd /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup
        git reset --hard
        # Start emulationstation again
        emulationstation 
        

        After getting back to ES, do the upgrade again.
