Right-click (control-key + click) any any of your Office app icons in Applications folder and select "Get Info". If the copyright date is 2016 you're in luck, and you can update your Office 2016 from the older 32-bit version, to a newer (Catalina-compatible) 64-bit version of Office 2016.
If your copyright date is anything older than 2016 you will have to purchase a new version of MS Office or look at one of the alternatives.
If your copyright date does equal exactly 2016 in the "Get Info" window then use the "Manual Update" file on Microsoft's website here:

Yes. You can also switch to a product such as LibreOffice instead of buying an upgrade.
In any case, you should have a backup.
