It looks like the web app is unable to find the server farm (AKA app service plan) since it's in a different resource group. To fix this, try creating the ServerFarm and web app in the same resource group.

i.e. use this command:

PS C:\scripts> New-AzureResourceGroup -Name "azurepowershellush" -TemplateFile F:\DeployerScript\Acquiacom.AcquiaDrupal7SQL.0.3.16-preview.json -StorageAccountName pilot -Location "East US" -siteName "azureappush"
-hostingPlanName "DefaultServerFarm" -serverFarmResourceGroup "azurepowershellush" -siteLocation "East US" -serverName "azureappush" -serverLocation "East US" -administratorLogin "adminXprt_1" -databaseName "adminXprt_1" -webDeploy_DatabaseUsername "adminXprt_1" -webDeploy_DatabasePassword "Sample_1987"

Note that -Name and -serverFarmResourceGroup are both "azurepowershellush".
