In your project.json there is a section publishOptions. This lists all the files and folders that will be included when you publish. You will need to update yours to look something like this

{
  "publishOptions": {
    "include": [
      "wwwroot",
      "Views",
      "appsettings.json",
      "appsettings.Production.json",
      "web.config"
    ]
  },
}

You can also use globbing patterns, so you should find this works too (I haven't tested this one)

{
  "publishOptions": {
    "include": [
      "wwwroot",
      "Views",
      "appsettings*.json",
      "web.config"
    ]
  },
}
