I need to resize /dev/sda? how to do this? Or Does upgrading droplet size will solve the issue?

Upgrading your Droplet’s disk size should indeed solve this issue for you. Having said that, before trying to upgrade your Droplet, I’ll suggest creating a backup just in case something goes wrong.
You can check articles on how to do backups/snapshots and what’s their difference here:
Snapshots
Backups
And if you are uncertain how to upgrade your droplet, you can follow this documentation:
