It is several years since I have used Ubuntu, but somewhere in the installation process you will have been offered a choice of keyboard type - it seems you may have either missed this or clicked on the wrong line.

However, all is not lost. Somewhere there will be a menu option to change things. On my computer, using Mint, which is a derivation of Ubuntu, this is called System Settings. Look for a heading under that called hardware, and then for input devices.

Hopefully someone can give more precise directions for Ubuntu!
