How long on average does it take an untreated uti to travel to the kindneys? once in the kidneys how long before sepsis occurs?

No timing: There is no way to estimate (and no ethical way to test) the average amount of time to ascend. It also depends greatly on the patient's age, comorbidities, and any underlying immune suppression/dysfunction issues. The greater the number, the faster it can spread.
