First Add a temporary known DNS server into your system then run apt update.

echo "Nameserver 8.8.8.8 " | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null

linuxhelp

This Error causes for two reasons;
If you have set your own DNS Server:
Either your ISP isnt currently forwarding its DNS server to its own servers or to its external servers . So you can employ this DNS for temporary purpose.
If you use Public DNS :
You havent Configure DNS into your system properly.
