There are instructions in the manual on how to do an upgrade - https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/upgrade . Make sure you do a database backup prior to upgrading.

Upgrading keeps existing users and posts. But as Lynne said, it is important that you backed up your database first before doing the upgrade.
Also note that upgrading from vB3/vB4 to vB5, all third-party plugins will not work. You have to ask the author of the plugins if they have a vB5-compatible version.Comment
