If sheriffs gives me a 5 day notice can I file for emergency bankruptcy?

When a bankruptcy case is filed, a "Stay" goes into effect against all creditors. However, there might be a legal argument made that if you living in the home after the eviction order has been entered, that you have no legal right to the property at this late point in time. So the answer is maybe, my guess is you would get the 15 extra days.

What is the name of the form to amend?

Answered by attorney Eric Allen Maskell (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Eric A. Maskell
It all depends on the type of creditor. If it is an unsecured creditor you would need to amend Schedule F to list the creditor. If it is a secured debt then you would need to add them to Schedule D and amend that. If they are a priority creditor you would need to add them to Schedule E. Once you add them and amend the schedule you should also file an amended creditor matrix so that when the case is discharged the court will mail them a copy of the discharge order.

Is there any way around this other than foreclosure?

You should not rely on my advice, it's only an opinion and if I had a chance to look into everything you've said my answer could change. Always get a lawyer to help is my motto because in hindsight, they are cheap! Any personal obligation you have on the property is wiped away, so you do not have to pay for any deficiency. Note, HOA fees are still owed by you until you have left the property AND title has changed. We have a company set up that we deed properties to but assuming you want something quick and cheap maybe you can find someone with bad credit who will gladly accept the property from you? Then deed it to them. You don't have any personal obligations on the house that's why you don't care about the benefits of a deed in lieu.
