Systemctl snap mount issue - Ubuntu 20.04

ar flag

For the last few weeks, I have been unable to perform any updates on "Ubuntu Software", nor have I been able to update new software via snap. I can assume it is all related to the same systemctl snap mount error message, shown below:

$ sudo snap refresh
[sudo] password for ryanalexander: 
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Mount snap "snapd" (18357) (systemctl command [start snap-snapd-18357.mount] failed with exit status 1: ERROR:systemctl:start not implemented for unit type: snap-snapd-18357.mount
)

Another example, when I was downloading vscode. Notice the similarity:

$ sudo snap install code --classic
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Mount snap "core" (14784) (systemctl command [start snap-core-14784.mount] failed with exit status 1: ERROR:systemctl:start not implemented for unit type: snap-core-14784.mount
)

I haven't been able to find anyone with a similar issue, the only thing I could find with the same error message was this, which was resolved by updating snapd. This is the message I see when attempting to update snapd via the Ubuntu Software GUI:

Unable to update snapd:
Cannot perform the following tasks:

and that's it. I have an image of the error popup that I can add on here as well. Interestingly, sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade run normally.

For reference, here are my system specs using neofetch:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
