Whenever I attempt to create a virtual device, it says "failed to load". I get the same error no matter what I select.

I've tried selecting other options, but they still fail. Not sure what I should do with this.

I had the same issue. I went to File>Invalidate Caches/Restart, and select "Invalidate and Restart". This seemed to do the trick for me.

If there is an error in logcat when you try this out can you post it please? That may help us find out why.

There might be a lot of reasons. If one of them is HAXM not properly installed or updated then you can head over to this link.- https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager Look for this haxm- windows_v6_0_3.zip (6.0.3) and you can download and install haxm. If this is not the issue then reinstall your software.
