Open the terminal and type:

sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq snapd sudo snap install core snap find vlc

Results of snap --version on Ubuntu 16.04 with an updated Linux kernel installed:

:~$ snap --version snap 2.31.2 snapd 2.31.2 series 16 ubuntu 16.04 kernel 4.4.0-119-generic

The short answer here is you didn't have snapd installed. Run this:

sudo apt-get install snapd

then close/reopen terminal. Try snap --version again and it should now work.
