Get the vB3 Beta, and the readme.html file inside will tell you how to upgrade.

THAT **** ME OVER! I uploaded the files over old ones, then nothing worked, so I deleted my old forums, cleared database, and edited config.php.new. Now it works, but I lost everything

You should really read the readme when dealing with something so big.
No such thing as too much precaution.

That's why you shouldnt use vB3 on a live board.

you know just uploading files isnt all that you need to do right? you need to run the upgrade :\

And you have to delete the vB2 files before you upload the vB3 files... as it says in the readme...

This is what the READ ME basically says to do:
If upgrading from vB2, do the following:
1) Backup your vB2 Database.
2) Delete all vB2 Files (NOT DATABASE!)
3) Upload all vB3 Files
4) Run http://yourdomain.com/forums/install/upgrade.php and follow the steps.

As you see, what you did, was completely wrong.

I tried running the upgrade it said to, it was missing. I could only run downgrades.

its impossible to downgrade the forum, with a script as far as i know
