And yes, the LibreOffice will save as a .docx.
No. You should go back the the original .odt file, and backport the changes you made after the fact in Sigil. Sigil isn't the place to make fundamental after-the-fact changes that produce the issue you are having. It is a tool to tweak the ePub output. It is not a tool to edit the content that went into it.

I strongly suspect that you will spend more time and trouble trying to turn ePub into docx than you would by just updating the odt file and doing a Save As docx.
