I am using Ubuntu 18.04 with Unity installed. Mouse was working fine until I updated using apt-get upgrade, after which, single tap opens right click menu. And tapping with two fingers selects the file. Actually pressing the touchpad buttons work fine but taps are switched. Anyone knows how to fix this?

Is the problem persists if you use GNOME instead of Unity?

You can add xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package and enable tapping.
Steps:
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synapticssudo mkdir -p /etc/X11/xorg.conf.dsudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf- Add the following config in
40-libinput.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "libinput"
Option "Tapping" "on"
EndSection - Restart lightdm -
systemctl restart lightdm
