First make sure that you have a compatible iPhone. If you indeed have an iPhone 14, you can update to the latest version of iOS 17, iOS 17.2.1


To update go to settings>general>software update and make sure that you're connected to a wifi network and that low power mode has been turned off

If you cannot update wirelessly please update via a pc or Mac instead
