Why won't docker start in Ubuntu 18?

I'm trying to start my docker service but it keeps failing.

I use the following command to start docker

sudo service docker start

And then as soon as I hit enter, I get the following output

* Starting Docker: docker

And then when I check the status of docker I get this message

* Docker is not running

What am I doing wrong? I'm on Windows 10.

To start the Docker daemon on WSL2 you’ll need to use the following command:

sudo dockerd

A lot of people tend to go with Docker Desktop as it drastically simplifies management of Docker on Windows.
