SLES15 SP1 is the same as with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 - 
"Upgrading from SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP3 is only supported via an 
offline upgrade."

See 
https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles-15/book_sle_upgrade/data/sec_upgrade-paths_supported.html 
then 
https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles-15/book_sle_upgrade/data/cha_upgrade-offline.html

zypper migration is used for _online_ upgrades from one service pack to 
another within the same release.

HTH,
Simon
