Hey apple, i'm using the 2017 macbook pro with no touchbar and just recently this morning certain big websites such as epicgames.com are showing up in HTML code. I tried to search up online a quick fix and all I can find is the solutions for the same problem on a windows OS. Here is a screenshot of my error:
MacBook Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13.5)

Nope, that is not HTML, that is Javascript.
As Roger points out, what is happening is the CSS did not load correctly, so all that is seen is the bare html being rendered by the browser, without any formatting or layout applied to it.
That's not HTML.

Anyway, what you have looks to me like what happens when your Internet Service Provider is having some difficulty serving up all the content from web pages. Maybe this will go away on its own.
What is happening is that you are not loading the CSS file(s) - these are text files which determine the layout and formatting of the page ('Cascading Style Sheets'). The page works OK for me so there's no inherent problem at their end. If you still seeing it try clearing your browser's cache, or if necessary all its data (though this will remove cookies, which can be a nuisance). Just rebooting your computer might even do it. You could also see what happens on a different browser.
This is HTML without Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) decoration. These usually clear up on their own as the web development team notices the problem, rolls their eyes, and corrects it. This can happen when a site uses a local filesystem location to load the CSS, or a web-based code management repository, and something has occurred that blocks access to the CSS code.
Alot of time has passed since the OP's “recently this morning” timeframe. It would only take a few short minutes to correct this if it was a CSS file location issue, or other simple server-side issue. Indeed the site appears properly now in Safari 11.1.2.
The site is https://www.epicgames.com/site/en-US/home and this works OK for me, with all formatting in place.

Yup, me too.
Certain websites only showing up in HTML.
