What files are located in /etc/apache2/sites-available/

The presence of a .save file makes me think that you may have used an editor to modify your 000-default.conf file which created a backup (as the .save).

If the configuration in your 000-default.conf file looks correct you should be able to safely delete (or move somewhere else) the 000-default.conf.save file and try the renewal again.

FInally, after two hours of struggle, I landed on this page and this was the exact problem.
Just deleted the .saved file and the renewal worked.
