An experienced electrician would not need to ask this question on this site.
This is a very serious subject because if you do something wrong in electric wiring, even a small mistake like putting one wire in the wrong place, it could kill you or someone else.
If this question has been asked by an adult, if you asked this question here because you don't already know enough - if anything - about household wiring to be able to do this job safely and you hope to get enough information on this site to tell you how to do the job properly and safely, the best advice anyone can give you is not to rely on getting accurate information on this site about such a potentially dangerous subject.
It is much better to call a licensed electrician to do this job for you. Correctly sized breakers would then be installed on your main panel (if necessary), the correct size of wiring and the correct kind of socket outlet would be used to do the job and an installation method would be used that is safe and which complies with the wiring codes or regulations in the locality where you live. (Town/State).
If this question has been asked by a student to help get a quick to a science homework question, or for an exam question, the best advice anyone can give you is to encourage you to go your local library and find some books on the subject, so you can learn about it properly and then write your own . That is the way to really learn stuff! It would also be very good experience for you to learn how to do basic research and to such questions by yourself.

Will my electrician need to run new wire from the outlet to the circuit breaker to change from a 50 amp to a 60 amp outlet?
Maybe not. Since there is no wire with a rating of 50 amps exactly there may be 60 amp wire already installed. Range's use a #8 wire with 50 amp range receptacle for its circuit. If the wire that is installed now is # 6, that is good for 65 amps, then no wire needs to be changed. The only 60 amp receptacle that will be allowed on the 60 amp cable is a three pole four wire grounding 125/250 volt device. The number will be 14-60R. There is a three phase rated receptacle in the three pole four wire grounding type. It is a 15-60R.
