Wsl seems to be installed since it responded to the command to set it to version 2.
But it doesn’t sound like it ever installed Ubuntu properly since it shows no installed distributions.
Quick search shows that you need to enable the following windows features:
Virtual Machine Platform And Windows Hypervisor Platform
Are these enabled?
Edit:
Someone already answered the same thing but I didn’t see it before posting this. Well done and glad it’s working.
