Asp.Net Core does not support web.config. Following are few steps to add the reference in Asp.Net Core in your case

1. You have to move appSettings section from web.config to appsettings.json. You can read more about it at MicroSoft Docs

2. If mapxtreme is available as nuget package then install it from nuget package. Otherwise create a folder called as third party, copy mapextreme dlls into third party folder and a add reference of these libraries from third party folder. But important thing is mapextreme libraries should be compliant with .NetStandard 2.0.
