As the error message indicates, you need to remove (ie, close) the
mapped device first.  If that device is required for your system to run
(for instance if it's holding the root file system) you won't be able to
run `cryptsetup luksClose $name` from the main system; however you
should be able to perform `cryptsetup convert` from a live CD, or from
the initramfs image.

Also, if as you hinted at you're using a detached header, you'll need to
pass --header=/path/to/header to `cryptsetup convert`.

Cheers,
