Can a websocket connection be made in Google app scripts? I wasn't able to find anything about these in Google's documentation, so I am unsure.

The answer is (sadly) still NO.
However, you can star this feature on apps script's issue tracker here - https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/117437427
You can however poll server-side functions using client-side asynchronous JavaScript API using google.script.run. More on it could be found here - https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/html/reference/run

Just adding to Sourabh's answer, although you can't directly use websocket through Google Scripts, you can use it with Javascript.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebSocket
In order to use this, you need to create an html in which you can create your websocket.
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/html/
For example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>WebSocket demo</title>
</head>
<body>
<script>
let ws = new WebSocket("ws:port");
ws.onopen = () => ws.send("some message to send); // Sending a message
ws.onmessage = (event) => google.script.run.some_function(event.data); // Receiving a message
</script>
</body>
</html>
So you could either make a web app with google or just an html window with google scripts and embed the websocket in it.
