The question is basically the title. I tried Ctr+Alt+F7 but nothing happens. I use all six of my currently available virtual terminals and need more. How can I add more TTYs?

Ubuntu 16.04 per default uses systemd. So you could could e.g. set
NAutoVTs=10
ReserveVT=10
in /etc/systemd/logind.conf
to increase the number of ttys to 10.
However, as Kamil suggested, you might want to use a tool like tmux
or screen
to multiplex terminals.
