Ubuntu mount point does not exist

I am trying to fix a broken Ubuntu upgrade, and so I am following the steps here:

And when I get to step number 4 sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev, I get the following error:

mount: mount point /mnt/dev does not exist

Running this:

sudo fdisk -l
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sda1 * 2048 499711 497664 243M 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 501758 250068991 249567234 119G 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 501760 250068991 249567232 119G 8e Linux LVM

Then running this:

sudo fsck /dev/sda1
fsck from util-linux 2.26.2
e2fsck 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)
/dev/sda1: clean, 312/62248 files, 107999/248832 blocks

Why can I not mount this?

I was able to get it.

sudo lvdisplay
--- Logical volume ---
LV Path /dev/ubuntu-vg/root

I then was able to do this:

sudo mount /dev/ubuntu-vg/root /mnt

I was then able to finish the rest of the steps.
