Exemple :
When someone tell you :
sudo apt install php-curl
You have to write it like this to be sure :
sudo apt install php7.3-curl
Redo your installation with this in mind

Ok I will try this
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package php7.3-curl is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'php7.3-curl' has no installation candidate

Yes Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.4.0-29-generic x86_64)
This ubuntu is bundled with php 7.4 by default you can’t install php7.3 by just apt install you have to install a non official repo for this.
Search for install php7.3 ubuntu 20.04

How could I downgrade to 7.3?
Upgrading ubuntu when you have a lot of thing on your server is silly.
Ubuntu have always the last software, then your service won’t like the last php7.4 because they rely on old versions

I don’t use 20.04 and I doubt very many people here do. Try finding the .deb packages and manually install them.

what is a .deb package?
Reinstall on 18.04 or debian 10 or upgrade to v18.
Other then that you need to hire someone to do this for you.

Nate can still upgrade. He just has to go through a manual upgrade and it doesn’t sound like he can do that task.
Rock and hard place. Don’t upgrade your OS again without testing first.
