Hire a plasterer to repair, take down lath and plaster and replace with sheetrock. -

You could just cover it with new 3/8 inch sheet rock. But removing and replacing it would be the best way. If it is an outside wall it would give you the opportunity to upgrade the insulation in the walls too. -

If it is fine cracking, I would fix and just skim coat them. If its breaking down and uneven, I would cover with 1/4" sheet rock.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j55l2cU87Sw you can do it!![]()

its more complicated but can be done and I’d check you tube. It’s not a simple crack patch but you have to remove a larger section
