Hi there! This is a very old issue, but I figured I might as well respond. Alchemy does not hold your private keys, therefore we cannot sign transactions for you on our servers. In order to send a transaction with web3 you can first use signTransaction and then use sendRawTransaction with the signed tx as input. You can use our tutorial here as a reference: https://docs.alchemy.com/alchemy/tutorials/sending-txs.
