apt-get upgrade is just the command for upgrading your currently installed packages. "do-release-upgrade" will attempt to upgrade you from one stable release to the next, however it stays within the release category, so since you're running 12.04 LTS, there are no newer releases yet (at least not until 14.04 goes gold), so even that command should do nothing. Even if there were a new release, it'd ask you several times before actually going through with it.
