You will have to pay the bill first, before you can continue updating apps.

The easiest and fastest way to pay would be adding money to your Apple Account balance, which will then be used by Apple as a primary payment method.

You can do that by redeeming Apple Gift Cards, for example, if they are available in your region:

- Add money to your Apple Account balance - "Use a payment method, such as a credit or debit card, to add funds to your Apple Account balance." This takes the previous payment method one step farther by optionally using it to irreversibly add funds to an Apple ID account balance instead of having the card charged each time.

If no option is shown to "Add Money to Account" using this method (you only see using gift cards) then it may not be available in your country. Use a gift card instead.
