I was hoping to DM a game for characters at high level (16 and up) and would like to find a good published adventure that could be used as a stand alone. I know War of the Burning Sky is good, but I was hoping to run that as a full campaign at a later date. What I'm looking for is a one-shot.

When you say "16 and up" what do you mean? I have 45 adventures from various sources (Dungeon magazine, Dungeon Delve, commerically available, and third-party) for levels 16 and higher
The question becomes important because Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl is a wonderful adventure for 16th level and can be used as a stand-alone. But it would not be sufficient challenge for a party of six 16th level characters, nor of five 17th or 18th level characters, without some extra work.
Here are the PHB essentia, in my opinion: - Three Basic Rules (p 11)
- Power Types and Usage (p 54)
- Skills (p178-179)
- Feats (p 192)
- Rest and Recovery (p 263)
- All of Chapter 9 [Combat] (p 264-295)
A player needs to read the sections for building his or her character -- race, class, powers, feats, equipment, etc. But those are PC-specific. The above list is for everyone, regardless of the race or class or build or concept they are playing.

I want to DM a one shot, so I can adjust the level to whatever is required by the adventure. It will probably be for 5 players.
Any recommendations?

You should go check out LivingForgottenRealms.com. The volunteers there have published some excellent adventures for the Paragon tier, as well as adventures for levels 21-24 of epic (with more on the way.)
