Welcome to the group!!
32bit Skype is no longer supported..

Skype supports 64bit.. If you're PC supports it you can install LL3.8 64bit where you'll find Skype in "Lite Software"

Extract from link above. Not tried the we web version but could be an answer??

Hi,
Seems so. When I today tried Skype version 4.3.0.37 on my 32 bit Linux Mint 18.2, I got the same symptoms. And once, it came up witn an upgrade link - to a 64 bit version :-(
Thought about completely giving up Skype on this PC, but remembered having read about a web-version of Skype.
And i found, that Skypes web-version works fine on my old laptop through:
https://web.skype.com
using chromium on 32-bit linux
Chrome has ended support for 32-bit)
Regards
Steen"

Hello jmogrady and welcome to the forum
Why bother with Microsoft spyware like Skype?
Have a look here at
Talky and it just might change your mind.
