Indeed, if you were truly running 2.3.4, you'll need to step to a 2.4.x
version, then a 2.6.x version, then 3.x, then 4.12, running Actions >
Check & Repair > Check & Repair All when first opening the file after
each upgrade, and of course ideally, keeping backup versions each step
along the way in case something goes wrong and you have to take a step
back rather than starting over from the original file.

First, you need to locate your last backup before your upgrade. As has
been described here before, you need to start in the FAQ at 3.5 (
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Using_Different_Versions.2C_Up_And_Downgrade)
and read the precautions. Depending on your specific data it is usually a
good idea to go through the intermediate major versions and run check and
repair at each step, keeping backups at each step. In some cases that can
take a very long time (hours) and GnuCash may appear to be frozen when it
is still cranking, so it behooves you to use a task manager to verify that
it is still working before concluding that it is stuck. There is more
specific information somewhere else but I don't recall where it is.
Perhaps another user remembers where the more detailed instructions reside.
