Which cools the air faster a ceiling fan or a air conditioner?
Air conditioner. A fan doesn't actually cool the air - it simply circulates it.
Why are air conditioners placed high on walls and not on the ground?
Because the cool air from the air conditioner is denser than the warm air in the room and sinks. Placed high up the cool air will have time to get further from the air conditioner before it settles to the floor, allowing it to cool more of the room. Placed on the floor the cool air will mostly pool around the air conditioner and very little of the room will be cooled. Some air conditioner are actually placed relatively low in a room, but they have fans and baffles that blow the cold air upwards to the ceiling resulting in the same effect as placing the air conditioner high (maybe even better as the fan blows the cool air not only up to the ceiling but across it, possibly covering a larger volume of the room than cool air falling passively from an air conditioner placed high but without fans).

Why won't my upstairs AC unit cool?
Because hot air rises. As your A/C unit kicks out cool air, that cool air makes its way downstairs, while the warm air downstairs rises to the upstairs. You could try closing a door at the top of your stairway to prevent the downstairs warm air from making it upstairs. Or try cracking an upstairs window if it is located near the ceiling to let warm air escape outside. The brute force solution is to buy more A/C units. The most efficient solution is to spend more time downstairs than upstairs.
When the air conditioner is on why is it so warm upstairs?

Why does the central air conditioner not cool down the top floor of your 3-story house?
Colder air is more dense than the warmer air. Warm air will tend to go up and the colder air will tend to go down. To get the upstairs to cool down, you may need to adjust the heat registers, closing or partially closing some of the downstairs registers. Sometimes it just takes a little more effort to move the cool air upstairs, and you may need to get a larger air fan on your ac unit.
