In Ubuntu 17.04 there was 'Rotation' menu in Display tab. But now in new version of Ubuntu, there's still a Display tab but no more rotation menu. Now I can't turn that off again since I upgraded to 18.04 LTS.

The best solution I have found so far is to use the icon that is available in the top right corner of the screen, when you click on the down arrow. The icon is the one in red in the screenshot below:

You may use the keyboard combination Super+O to toggle the rotation lock ON/OFF as described in @Sylvain's answer.
Note that Super is usually the key with Windows logo.

What do you mean "turn off screen rotation" ? Do you mean go back to normal orientation ?
Anyway, in the new gnome-control-center of gnome 3.28, in Devices > Screen Display tab, you can click on Orientation and a menu appears to let you choose between
- Landscape
- Portrait right
- Portrait left
- Landscape (flipped)
I guess this is what you want ?
