Hello my bootstrap nav is not dropping down into different sections like I've seen it in examples on multiple sites. I've tried moving things around but to no avail. I feel like I'm missing something very simple though so any input would be much obliged :D

You missed loading the following JS libraries to make the dropdown menu work:
jQuery library (to get the Bootstrap JS work)
Bootstrap JS (to get the dropdown work)
See a working solution: JSFiddle
Add this to your <head> to get it working:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
You just need to include the javascript files in your head tag.
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
You can try it here
Updated answer for anyone using Bootstrap 4.
Please note that in Bootstrap 4, dropdown menus depend on the popper.js library as well (the umd version specifically). So to get them to work, you need jquery, popper, and bootstrap loaded, in that order. As of today, that looks like this:
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.slim.min.js" integrity="sha384-KJ3o2DKtIkvYIK3UENzmM7KCkRr/rE9/Qpg6aAZGJwFDMVNA/GpGFF93hXpG5KkN" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.11.0/umd/popper.min.js" integrity="sha384-b/U6ypiBEHpOf/4+1nzFpr53nxSS+GLCkfwBdFNTxtclqqenISfwAzpKaMNFNmj4" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

I am tring to creating the Bootstrap Navbar, I linked the boostrap.css and boostrap.min.css successfully. but when i saw the browser it is not working in php.
<link type="text/css" href="bootstrap/bootstrap-4.3.1-dist/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link type="text/css" href="bootstrap/bootstrap-4.3.1-dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<nav class="navbar navbar-inverse">
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="navbar-header">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">WebSiteName</a>
</div>
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="active">Home</li>
<li>Page 1</li>
<li>Page 2</li>
<li>Page 3</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
are you sure that your css are loaded successfully? Check the console.. you have a relative path, use an absolute path to test if the problem vanish.
Here a fiddle with bootstrap included from cdn and your code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-ggOyR0iXCbMQv3Xipma34MD+dH/1fQ784/j6cY/iJTQUOhcWr7x9JvoRxT2MZw1T" crossorigin="anonymous">
https://jsfiddle.net/sqmahtxz/
One more thing: you need to include only one css, the complete (for development) of minified version (for production).
I think you miss the head tag, thatswhy this can happen. Put your CSS links inside the head tag.
<head>
<link type="text/css" href="bootstrap/bootstrap-4.3.1-dist/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link type="text/css" href="bootstrap/bootstrap-4.3.1-dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<nav class="navbar navbar-inverse">
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="navbar-header">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">WebSiteName</a>
</div>
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="active">Home</li>
<li>Page 1</li>
<li>Page 2</li>
<li>Page 3</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
</body>
You are probably forgot to link the .js at the script tag? and you have to bind the links-tags in the header-tag.
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.slim.min.js" integrity="sha384-q8i/X+965DzO0rT7abK41JStQIAqVgRVzpbzo5smXKp4YfRvH+8abtTE1Pi6jizo" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.14.7/umd/popper.min.js" integrity="sha384-UO2eT0CpHqdSJQ6hJty5KVphtPhzWj9WO1clHTMGa3JDZwrnQq4sF86dIHNDz0W1" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

And I suggest using this link:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-ggOyR0iXCbMQv3Xipma34MD+dH/1fQ784/j6cY/iJTQUOhcWr7x9JvoRxT2MZw1T" crossorigin="anonymous">

You mentioned that you downloaded Bootstrap 4.0 beta, so I'm assuming you're trying to use the file path to use it. You do not need to download SASS. If you don't really need all its features then you can just follow Bootstraps 'quick start guide', https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/getting-started/introduction/.

Just to get you started, try that. Then maybe later you can pick specific components.
Why wont this work? I am sure i have set it up correctly although this is my first time using bootstrap. I am trying to use CDN distribution but I cant seem to get it to work. It currently just displays them as links as oppose to the nav bar that can be seen when used on other sites.

The navbar structure is not Bootstrap 4. Read the Bootstrap 4 navbar docs. Bootstrap 4 is now beta.

When using Bootstrap, always make sure that head section contains:
jquery script
bootstrap javascript
bootstrap css file
This has to be the order, otherwise it won't work.
D Sai Krishna's code (especially first three rows) is how it is supposed to be. I always find it better to use external link to .js and .css files than to use local files. To conclude, in head section paste external links (these one's are current as of this writing):
1. <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script> //This will initialize jQuery and enable it to work properly//
2. <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script> //This will implement Javascript whenever Bootstrap is being used (if applicable). //
3. <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css"> //This will enable Bootstrap styles to be applied to your HTML//
For reference, visit W3schools.com/bootstrap where you can find how to implement above mentioned lines and where. You will also find current external links of bootstrap .js and .css

I am making a simple bootstrap responsive navbar but the dropdown isn't dropping and showing the content .I am not able to figure out the issue. There are no errors in the console
Okay. You mean the 3-bar navbar-toggle on the right-hand side?
You have an extraneous space in your data-target attribute. It says data- target="#myNavbar" instead of data-target="#myNavbar".
Edit in response to comment:
So you don't see this drop-down? This is the one that I was initailly looking at when I said that it worked for me.
Try replaced your <head> with this code:
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.2.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js" integrity="sha384-0mSbJDEHialfmuBBQP6A4Qrprq5OVfW37PRR3j5ELqxss1yVqOtnepnHVP9aJ7xS" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<title>AIT Project</title>
</head>
Then it will be exactly the same as the code I'm using. I've replaced the links to local files with links to files from a CDN. That means you'll need to be connected to the internet. Does it work now?
Make sure you are linking properly to your js files.
Try to add this code in the end of your html file
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js" ></script>
if it works it means that you are not properly linking to the bootstrap.min.js file.
