how do I set up Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) on my VPS?

Setting up my first VPS and Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) is required. Where do I set that up in my Linode Manager?

That's one of the options you can pick when you deploy a distribution:

https://www.linode.com/docs/getting-started/#deploy-an-image

I'd recommend reading through that guide entirely if this is your first time using Linode / a Linux VPS in general.

Linode offers Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Disk. Is that the same as Xenial?

Yes, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is Xenial. You can view all the Ubuntu releases and their code names here.

Thank You
