Ubuntu 20.04 supports only ROS Noetic. If you are not particular about using Melodic, you can install Noetic. But if you want Melodic, and don't want to take the burden of building from source and solving the issues, it is better that you do a clean install of Ubuntu 18.04 and install ROS melodic in that.
