You are not trying to “run sqlite3”. You are trying to change to a directory — that is what the cd command means in Linux.

On an emulator, to run the sqlite3 command from the adb shell, simply type sqlite3, then press <Enter>:

# sqlite3
SQLite version 3.7.4
Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"
sqlite> 

Note that the sqlite3 command does not exist on production devices AFAIK.
