1- Need to specify the web app name and the Region using PowerShell. Use the below PowerShell window or PowerShell ISE.
#Specify the Web app Name and Region
$mywebapp = "MyNewWebApp468"
$myloc = "Central US"
$myAppPlan = "MyWebApps"
2- You can create a resource group or you can use the existing resource group. Use the below cmdlet to create the resource group using PowerShell
New-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name mynewupdtrsggroup -Location $myloc
3- You can create an App Service plan using the free tier
New-AzureRmAppServicePlan -Name $myAppPlan -Location $myloc -ResourceGroupName mynewupdtrsggroup -Tier Free
4- Now we need to create the web app using the below PowerShell cmdlet.
New-AzureRmWebApp -Name $mywebapp -Location $myloc -AppServicePlan $myAppPlan -ResourceGroupName mynewupdtrsggroup 
5- Now run the below complete script to create the web app in Azure
$mywebapp = "MyNewWebApp468"
$myloc = "Central US"
$myAppPlan = "MyWebApps"
New-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name mynewupdtrsggroup -Location $myloc
New-AzureRmAppServicePlan -Name $myAppPlan -Location $myloc -ResourceGroupName mynewupdtrsggroup -Tier Free
New-AzureRmWebApp -Name $mywebapp -Location $myloc -AppServicePlan $myAppPlan -ResourceGroupName mynewupdtrsggroup
