You can use the Upgrade Geodatabase tool in ArcGIS Pro or a Python script run on an ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Server machine to upgrade your geodatabase. Recall that updating the ArcGIS Server software (ArcSDE) version does not automatically update your geodatabases of FCs, you have to run an upgrade step to do that on each of your databases.

Hi Kumar,

We'd suggest getting familiar with the original application and how to achieve the same results using Pro (interactively - no coding).

Once that's done you'll have a better understanding of the task at hand and what your Pro Add-in has to achieve.

We can then help you use the Pro SDK to write such an add-in

An alternative if you need cross-compatibility between Arcmap and Pro for a transitional period is to use an older release of Pro for a bit. For example, here's the same support page for Pro 3.1 which can handle older Postgres releases. Note that upgrade warning on the page, getting Postgres ready for future Pro releases will break Arcmap compatibility and require some migration tools.
