Not sure what you meant about upgrading but..

have you tried to use the recovery partition? However, not sure the status of your time machine backup. Is it a time capsule or locally attached drive? If it is a removable drive do you have another Mac you could run first aid or fsck on time capsule drive to check/fix time capsule.

Actually you should be able to get to the disk utility from the recovery as well as terminal session to run fsck on time capsule.

I've already tried on another mac it can't read my drive i created another user on my macbook and somehow it read the time machine volume on the external drive and now i can't erase the external drive to create a new time machine its really weird, tried repairing and failed it wont even let me delete the whole drive...

Try to use periods. It's very hard to understand your posts.

So you upgraded your MBP to High Sierra, and then used a Time Machine Backup to migrate to the new machine? It sounds like you already have your data on your MBP if you want to erase your Time Machine volume, so I am a bit confused.

Perhaps screenshots would be helpful. You say "it won't even let me delete the whole drive." What is the exact error message?
