Ubuntu-Zorin version is invalid-- Problems with Pip3

Hi, I'm using the default python3 version of 3.8.10
Lately whenever I try to install anythin with pip3, I get the following response

~$ pip3 install turtle

A few users have also raised concerns on Askubuntu and Stackoverflow but there is no response.

Anyone else face this issue ?

Have you tried reinstalling pip?
