Visual Studio is an IDE for Windows, so you can't install it on Ubuntu. You can try to install it with Wine, however, I wouldn't attach too much hope for that.
And there is a free Visual Studio Code which is an extendable text editor and it has a Linux edition. You can install it as a snap:
sudo snap install --classic code
Or, alternatively you can download a .deb package from the Microsoft's website. And install it like:
sudo apt install ./<file>.deb

Download the .exe installer for Windows, then install it with
wine <vs-2017-executable-name>.exe, but it is qualified as "garbage" on the WineHQ database: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=35535Which means, it isn't usable.
One more alternative is Monodevelop, if you are developing in C#, which is a cross-platform IDE, but not not as feature rich as Visual Studio: https://www.monodevelop.com/
