Point Buy not showing up?

Newbie here.  Trying to setup a game but under Abilities I'm just getting custom and choose.  None of the other options.  I have a pro account and Dungeons and Dragons 5e character sheet selected. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you again!

You would need to purchase the Players Handbook to gain point buy or even rolling dice for Ability scores. Believe or not, neither of those options are given in the free SRD released by Wizards of the Coast. Because of this, Roll20 cannot provide those options without PHB purchase. You could create a macro to roll basic ability scores if you want them recorded in chat. Ex.: Ability 1 = [[4d6kh1]] Ability 2 = [[4d6kh1]] Ability 3 = [[4d6kh1]] Ability 4 = [[4d6kh1]] Ability 5 = [[4d6kh1]] Ability 6 = [[4d6kh1]] But for point buy, you would need to check players manually.
To get the other options for creating a character, you need to have the source books from which they are drawn.  Getting the players handbook will enable point buy, standard array, and roll for stats.
