 From the below it looks like something/someone deleted the template0 
and template1 directories in the data directory. Is there a file backup 
of the data directory?

First I would determine what else might be missing?

In psql what happens if you do:

\l

to get a list of databases?

And can you connect to the databases other then postgres?

When was the backup done and how?

Are you sure it is a complete backup?

Do you have tablespaces,other then the default, in use?

Do you have file level backup of the Postgres data directory from before 
the deletion of template0 and template1 directories?

Why is important that you use pg_upgrade instead of using pg_dumpall as 
David Johnston suggested?

In any case I would suggest doing a pg_dumpall against the 9.6 instance 
just to have a backup.
