In the old Jotform, I just set it to custom and typed in today+14 for two weeks, but in the new jotform it doesn't allow me to do that. Can anyone please help?

The default date can no longer be set as you stated, however, if you would like to disable dates previous to 14 days in the future, you can set the Start Date to today+14

So there is no way for me to auto-populate that date to be a specific date 3 weeks from today?

You can achieve that by using conditional logic, Please see the demo form I've created for you here:
https://form.jotformpro.com/71002358954960
To achieve this, I created two date fields, one named as the Start Date, and the one as Action Date. I then created a text field, and called it DatesString (this will hold the string value of the current date).
On the first Date field (Start Date), I set the default date to be today's date:
I then created the following condition, to get the string value of today's date, and save it in the DateString field:
Finally, I created the last condition to add 14 days to the current date, as follows:
When you run the form, the result should like this:
Please note that you can hide the Start Date and DateString field, I left them visible to demonstrate how the logic would work.

I have followed your directions probably 10 times and keep getting weird numbers in the Datestring field. "datestring17267"
I cannot seem to figure this out and I'm following your directions to a T

Sven,
How did you enter the original "datestring" in the "Start Date" condition
