Hello,

The system disk of an instance cannot be extended directly on an existing instance. However, the root volume can be extended indirectly by taking an instance snapshot of your instance and creating an instance from that snapshot with a larger bundle size.

I've included documentation on instance snapshots below:

Hello.

It is possible to expand Lightsail's root volume.
You can increase the size of a disk by taking snapshots and creating larger disks from snapshots, as described in the following documentation.

Can I increase the size of my attached disk?

Yes, you can increase the size of a disk by taking a disk snapshot and then creating a new, larger disk from that snapshot.
