I just ran: 

uname -r

and this came up: 

4.4.0-53-generic

Then I did: 

sudo apt upgrade

the output was:

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  linux-headers-4.4.0-57 linux-headers-4.4.0-57-generic linux-image-4.4.0-57-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-57-generic

But when I run

uname -r

I still get 

4.4.0-53-generic

What should I do?

After your first uname -r it listed 4.4.0-53 as the kernel version you last booted with.

When you did sudo apt upgrade it offered to update your disk with newer kernel 4.4.0-57 but you must select Y to upgrade it on disk. You did not say if you did this or not.

When you typed uname -r a second time it still shows 4.4.0-53 as the kernel you booted with because you haven't rebooted yet.

Anyways... Do the upgrade and select Y and then reboot to get the newest kernel booted into RAM and virtual directories /proc, /sys, etc.

apt-get upgrade is restricted to the case where packages are to be replaced by newer versions.

but in your case there are packages be additions, so you should use apt-get dist-upgrade.
For example, 'linux-image-generic- package will update by 'linux-image-4.4.0-57-generic'.
