Try this answer, which uses the basic dd disc copy program to create the image. Note that if the disc is much bigger than the stored files use you can use the count= option in order to stop the ISO from being needlessly large. I also always use conv=sync with dd; otherwise, any read error will make the target file system completely unreadable from that point. You shouldn't need a physical DVD: you ought to be able to set the ISO as a virtual DVD. I can't verify this as I have difficulty getting vbox to run in 18.04, but it works in VMware.

I'm not sure if a USB can be used because we can only pass USB devices to a VM (in virtualbox) when a VM is already running. | |

You should either figure out the reason your VM cannot boot from the stick, or just download the ISO, directly from Microsoft and use that instead. ImgBurn is a horrible program. Any event, it's not clear, what your actual question is. | |
