Not sure what year. If anyone knows please let me know. It has a 3×6 and im pretty sure its a freewheel. Can a freewheel be upgraded to take a larger gear/cog?

Nice. Freewheel used to be limited to 7 cogs. Apparently there are Chinese suppliers with more cogs, related to the rise of electric bikes (?), I think I heard.
You can get wider-range freewheels, yes. If you can’t find a 6 speed option with the range you’re looking for, you might have to swap shifters, or set yours to friction depending on what’s on there.
Keep in mind that you might end up needing a new chain and rings (which I think means a new crankset in this case) if the existing stuff is too far gone.
