My weeping cherry tree leaves looked burned and diseased. This is my first time having a cherry tree so I am looking for guidance on what to do next. Help !!
This can happen for a few reasons, but it appears to be fungal or bacterial. If this was planted in the heat of summer, then this is likely what started the issue. Overwatering in compensation for the heat seals the deal.
The heat, and constantly wet soils are a perfect combination for disease. The best way to get around this is to only plant in early Spring in zone 7. That way, you won't have to water, unless it remains dry enough to sap all moisture out of the root ball. It has the best chance of taking to the soil around it at this time.
If this has been established for a while, then sometimes constant rains for too long will bring about infections.
The best course of action from here will be to use a fungicide for the upper portions of the tree. This article will help you with fungicide use: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/using-fungicides-in-garden.htm
I would also recommend treating the soil with DOLOMITIC LIME and WETTABLE SULFUR around the tree. This will help condition the soil, as well as treat what is left in the soil. It will also give the tree much needed calcium, magnesium, sulfur, and carbon.

The tree is over 50 years old and produces a good crop of large crab cherries every year.
It could be wood borers or cankers. Read on:

Tree trunks have rotting outer wood, some much worse. Would it be helpful to treat and wrap at this point? One of three trees appears healthy. All have healthy leaves and branches-- the problem is isolated to trunks. Please help if possible.
I'm sorry, but your photos did not come through. Without knowing the disease, it would be hard to give any advice regarding treatment. Usually wrapping the tree with anything other than for winter protection when they aren't hardy will cause disease, or exacerbate the illness. Don't wrap them with anything, for sure.
You can try your local extension service, and they can test your soil for you. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/extension-search
You can also opt to test your soil yourself, to ensure that it is not deficient, but if it is a disease, you will need more than a simple home soil test. This article will help you to test your soil: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/testing-soil.htm

the bark), as well as some white, what looks like barnacles. What is this? Is it going to affect the trees in any way? Hoping it’s NOT going to kill my trees, especially my Yoshino cherry trees.
What you are reporting sounds like moss and lichen, which are not considered parasitic or disease conditions. But without photos we cannot be sure.

Cherry tree has big sap blisters.
Removing them probably won't do a whole lot. You will have to find out what is causing the problem.
This can be disease, insect damage (usually borers), overwatering, and sometimes, just typical sap leakage.
Unfortunately, your image did not come through. I will not be able to see exactly what is causing your issue.
What I can do is offer an article that will explain common causes for gummosis: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/fegen/what-is-gummosis.htm
Not all of the branches are like this just several on each of my cherry trees.
The deformity that you show in the photo is called "fasciation".
https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/fasciation-in-flowers.htm
Fasciation can be caused by a genetic mutation, bacterial or mite infestation or systemic herbicide damage.
You can prune those pieces out and if you have not begun a dormant spray program then start ASAP. Horticultural oil and copper fungicide spraying is organic program compatible and will help to suppress over-wintering insect and mite pests, fungal and bacterial infections.
