Mempool is full, which means you currently need more than 12 sat/vbyte for a fast confirmation.
If you're not in a hurry: just wait. Chances are mempool clears over the weekend, and your transactions will confirm.

I tried increasing the fees but then it says:

the server returned an error when broadcasting the transaction. Consider trying to connect to a different server, or updating Electrum
I think this means your increased fee is too close to your previous fee. Note that increasing the fee for your first transaction invalidates the later (child) transactions.
