My rhubarb has sprouted like this. Does this mean that it has gone to seed? I am thinking that I should probably harvest all that I can now. Any advice welcome. Sorry if daft Q. Newbie!

Mine does it every year. Cut the flower stem out right to the base and the plant will send up more leaves then you can continue cropping for the rest of the season.

Not a silly question.
Cut it off, mine do it every year. Harvest the stems as required. You might find more flower stalks being sent up, just take them off as you notice them.
