Your story seems familiar, did you post it before?
I suggest you make first a backup of your wallet.dat (actually, I hope you already did this before upgrading).
Then, start Bitcoin Core again with this commandline option:
If your wallet holds the private keys to addresses with balance, they should for sure show up after this.

Code:
-rescan
Rescan the block chain for missing wallet transactions on startup
I posted it on reddit and didnt get much help other then check the blockchain.
I didnt do a back up on the wallet, because i guess i incorrectly assumed the wallet.dat was the only backup i needed. Also im doing the rescan now on new laptop. Should i be doing this on the old laptop that had the correct balance prior to the core upgrade?
Carry on rescan on new machine, LEAVE the old machine for the time being until result or not.
Did you check the blockchain.info for actual balance, as you said done some calculations?
three things! Just for my own knowledge, can you tell me what the rescan actually does. 2. can you recommened a wallet for myself that doesnt require me to have this 150gb download on my laptop (only have 256gb) 3. can u send me your bitcoin address
