Peeled wallpaper off the walls in one of my bedrooms and found lath and plaster crumbling away behind. Should I just go ahead and rip it out or do an asbestos survey first?

Wallpaper / plaster failing

Just moved into my home and wanted to take the wallpaper off so I could prep and paint the walls. Started peeling the wallpaper in multiple areas and what looks like plaster has started coming off with it. I have also found mould in the top corner of the room and next to the mould it looks like plaster is bulging off the walls.

Is there anything I can do myself to fix these issues or am I best biting the bullet and getting a professional??
