You have a 64 bit kernel, this is true, but a 32 bit userland.

I don't know how Go does these things but apps don't usually talk to the
kernel directly, they talk to libc. Which in your case is ... 32 bit

Reinstall.

A 32 bit to 64 bit migration may or may not be possible (I never
attempted it) but one thing is sure, it will not be easy.
