Have you read this:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Migrating_a_Samba_NT4_Domain_to_Samba_AD_(Classic_Upgrade)

You are running the wrong command.

You do seem to have problems with your databases though:

Severe DB error, sambaSamAccount can't miss the samba SIDattribute

Can you post the smb.conf you are using for the upgrade.
