How do i send an html email in outlook 2016, and make sure that the pictures load on the recipients' end (as it is not loading and instead there is a box with red cross displaying). I have tried inserting as text-the html file, and sending it but the picture does not load in the recipient's end.

Embedding images is done by inserting HTML containing <img> tags pointing to locally
available images, or by embedding a (small) base64-encoded image inline :
<img alt="Embedded Image" height="128" width="128" src="data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEASABIAAD....snip..." />
However, many email clients block embedded images as a security measure, so that's not the best way to send images.
A better way is to make the images available on your website, or alternatively stored on a public server such as imgur.com.
The simplest test whether the email is readable, is to send it to yourself on Outlook, or to another account such as Gmail.
