^^What abell said. ^^
While the dollar might very well be destroyed, it’s also just as likely that many Americans will be even more strapped for cash in five years.
Unfortunately, there is no easy answer. Sorry to hear about your situation, and wish you the very best, no matter what you decide.
BTW, is it really necessary to move up? Your best bet might just be to stay put and minimize expenses as much as possible. You’ve got your inflation hedge (your current house), now it’s time to work on your deflation hedge.
