Tax returns for past years cannot be e-filed. You have to print your 2018 tax return, sign it, and file it by mail.

A while ago the IRS stopped processing mailed tax returns because of the Covid-19 pandemic. They may be starting to process them again soon, but they have reduced staff and a big backlog, so it will be quite a while before your 2018 tax return is processed.
