I followed the documentation to upgrade here from 2.5.5 to 2.7
However, doing the steps, I saw nothing that would help me update the database. No wizard, no tutorial or documentation.
What is the proper way to update the database?

If you followed the instructions you linked to, and ran the update wizard successfully, then your database has been updated.
Do you have reasons to believe you didn’t get a successful update? What is your EE version number as reported in the bottom of your Control Panel?

There was no problem on any steps. I was able to go to the last update page without any problems.
I only noticed the problems when I started clicking around the control panel. I got SQL errors such as missing fields, tables, etc.
I did an investigation into the database and compared it to the schema specified by ExpressionEngine 2.7.0
That is when I realized that my database retained its old structure and did not match the structure in ExpressionEngine 2.7.0
It seemed to me that it did not update the database.

Okay I tried updating again.
Now I see the part where it is trying to update the database. It seemed to migrate nicely.
However, my safecracker forms are still there. I also think that the Safecracker data is still in the database. So do I manually uninstall Safecracker now?
UPDATE:
I found this Channel Form examples page.
So I tried renaming my tag to {exp:channel:form}.
However, I get 2 new errors
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined property: Channel_form_lib::$EE
