"Is it possible to upgrade from 5.6 to 5.16 with the same dll files?"

That's quite the jump, but to answer your question, no this isn't going to work. I suggest you use autobundle from cpan to generate a bundle of your current modules used by 5.6. You can then inspect this bundle, editing if it required, and use it to install the modules you need in your new distribution. Note if you're using a perl as old as 5.6 the modules you're using may be very old too. You should check them for significant changes.

"I wanted to use the same perl for 64 bit machine as wel. Is it possible to use single perl for both 32 & 64 bit machine?"

In this case you'd have to use a 32bit Perl, as a 64bit Perl won't work on a 32bit operating system.
