Maye sure you are connected to a network.
You have to use a special method for upgrade, booting from your Installer ISO.
Read this carefully, so you know what you need to do.
Pacman crashes during an upgrade
Upgrade packages on a mounted system (NOT chroot)
- Boot to the installer USB/ISO and start a terminal
- Mount the root partition and some more (no need for
$ESPor/homemounts):
sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
sudo mount -t proc proc /mnt/proc
sudo mount --rbind /sys /mnt/sys
sudo mount --rbind /dev /mnt/dev
- If there are no errors, run the upgrade:
sudo pacman --sysroot /mnt -Syu
Log down (write in a note) any packages that did not upgrade successfully.
- Check for incomplete libraries installation, and log/add them in the previous list.
find /mnt/usr/lib -size 0
- For any
<package>you have added in the list, try to specifically upgrade them:
sudo pacman --sysroot /mnt -S <package>
Good luck! 
Thanks.
sudo pacman --sysroot /mnt -Syu

updated the mirrors also as suggested.
Still the same errors.
Please help.
I tried changing the mirror with reflector-simple and from welcome app.
sudo pacman --sysroot /mnt -Syu is not taking the updated mirrors.
I think this is the issue. Please suggest.
Have you confirmed you have internet?
When all repos fail, it sounds like an internet problem.
About mirrorlists, I would check servers manually, not with a utility, when things are so weird.
AFAIK, with --sysroot, the target systemâs mirrorlists are used, so check those from the installed system.
First check internet availability.

Thank you all for your great support.
Finally, solved with the below single command:
sudo pacman -Sy glibc curl
Thank you all once again for valuable support and help. Make me feel like a family.
