According to the Oxford dictionary the word let is a verb.
I would like to know if it acts as verb in the following sentence:
Let's go to see him on Tuesday.
It seems to me that the main verb here is go. Does let also act as a verb? If so, how?

This is called a LET-imperative.
Yes, "let" is a verb, but it has been bleached of its normal meaning of "allow" and serves solely as a marker of this special type of imperative construction. It's a plain form (infinitive) verb, so it is not conjugated, of course. It's the verb following "let" that is understood with a 1st person plural subject.
You are right that the 'main' verb is "go". It's a catenative verb that has "us" as direct object followed by the infinitival clause "go to see him" as second complement
