"Photos and iCloud: moving photos to iCloud from my MacBook pro with an OS Mojave 10.14.6 system. I need to create more storage space in order to upgrade my system. How?"

Save a few, and clear local space.

Freeing Up a Desktop Mac Storage:

In more recent models, the internal Mac storage cannot be upgraded. It is what it is, even if you upgraded your iCloud Plan. So, clear pace manually.

Clear Space:

Try clearing internal storage. Do so, though use of the following:

What Space to Clear:

A. Clear Temporary Internet Files:

Clear your Temporary Internet Files(Cookies & Cache) of Safari:

• Cookies perform remembrance of certain site-entered data.
• Cache keeps a snapshot of the last time you visited a site.

Go Here: Manage Cookies and Website Data in Safari on Mac - Apple Support

B. Clean TV and Music Libraries:

Remove all unneeded files from your TV and Music Libraries. Full-Movies take up 2-4GB typically, and a bunch of those would take up a load of storage, ideally. So, if you have any movies that are not needed, then delete them.

I'd not rely on iCloud, I'd get an external drive or two if the photos were important.
