Here is a quick sample tell me if this help you:

I have an Html file in my Assets folder called MyHTMLPage, it has a build action of type content and a Copy to Output to Copy Always. My Html file:

    
    


HELLO WORLD, from a webview
  

On my Main Page.xaml:

On my Main Page.cs:

 public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
    {
        public MainPage()
        {
            this.InitializeComponent();
            Loaded += MainPage_Loaded;
        }

        private void MainPage_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            string src = "ms-appx-web:///Assets/MyHTMLPage.html";
            this.MyWebView.Navigate(new Uri(src));
        }
    }

and Voila this should work.
