I have a medium-sized Web Application project on Framework 4.8. It has Webforms and MVC (and webapi) in it. I am confused by the recent 5.0 announcements that seem to indicate that everything should now be 5.0. After downloading the new SDK, and Visual Studio 16.8 preview4, I am still not able to change the target framework of my main webapp project in its settings. Am I missing a step? Can I upgrade my .net 4.8 app to 5.0?

Web Forms is not included in .NET 5. You will have to eliminate Web Forms from your application if you want to upgrade to .NET 5.
Rich Lander (Program Manager on the .NET team at Microsoft) explicitly pointed this out on Twitter.
