Ubuntu Core is meant to be installed on-to target machine and then
directly booted.

If you want to boot in the VM, that means you should create a
virtual-disk (depending on which VM you use it can be a plain img,
qcow files, vdx etc), loop-mount that and follow the Ubuntu Core
instructions with "target disk" being the loop-mounted virtual disk.
Eventually you will setup a VM to use that virtual disk to boot ubuntu
core.
