I cut off the branch where the web worm "nest" was attached. There is also plenty of dark sap seeping from the trunk. What else would you suggest? Thanks
Cutting off the branch was the most important step. These articles have a good explanation of other steps to control these pests:

Is the sap oozing from the wound where you cut the branch, or from a different site on the trunk? In the second case, there may be a problem called gummosis. This can be caused by general stress (such as from the webworms or from the removal of one branch) or by certain diseases and infestations:

I have a lovely weeping, cascading cherry tree that I planted in a large planter in the spring and I live in Midwest and don't want to lose it over the winter. Do I need to bring into the garage over the winter or can I just cover it with heavy plastic and leave it where it is? Thanks.
The weeping cherry is hardy to minus 10 degrees, and will survive in your area naturally. If you still have concern, move it to a south facing wall or mulch it with hay.

All of the flowers have fallen off after planting. Is this normal?
Yes, this is quite common. Transplanting is rough on any plant. This stress will cause the flowers to drop. Just make sure to keep the tree watered, but not sopping wet. Don't let it dry out until it is established, and has good new growth.

I have a weeping cherry tree (grafted type) at least 10 years old. it is starting to be odd shape and I want to know if I trim some of the larger branches, about 1 1/2 inch, will they sprout again from the ends or become a stump type end?
The branches won't sprout directly from the ends where you pruned them, but they will put out more side branches from buds closer to the trunk. Proper pruning can correct your tree's shape. It may be best to contact an arborist or other professional for help. This article will help you learn about weeping cherry tree pruning:

a few weeks ago I planted a cheals weeping cherry in my garden but although it is full of buds the branches are turning a redish brown , is this normal for a weeping cherry?
Many cherries do develop a brown bark. Some even peel! Unless it is affecting the leaves and flowers, I would not be worried. This article will give you more information on the care of these: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/weeping-cherry/weeping-cherry-growing-tips.htm
Live in Silver Springs MD. right outside of Wash DC My weeping cherry trees are just starting to bud is it to late to prune and sharp thr trees. Like to trim the tips 24inches off the ground is that ok and can I go higher
This would be ok right now, but I would not wait much longer. You can trim as high as you would like, but most prefer to have them just above the ground.
what fertilizer to give to my weeping flowering cherry tree. thank you
Without a soil test, you'll never know for sure. Some advise a slow-release all-purpose, balanced fertilizer in spring when leaves are emerging. Balanced means the NPK numbers are similar, 10-10-10 or 8-10-8 for instance. Nitrogen leaches through the soil every season but phosphorus and potassium build up and can reach toxic levels. Some soils are naturally high in phosphorus and adding more creates problems. You can look to your state's cooperative extension service for general info on soils in your area. Some gardeners choose to loosely rake in 2 inches of compost every year as an alternative to fertilizer. If your tree doesn't look healthy, your first step is a soil test.
