If it would allow that it would cause an infinite recursion.  To resolve
you need to do:

cp -a public_html/* public_html/sandbox/

This will cause the contents of public_html to be copied and not
public_html itself.  The added / on the end of sandbox ensures that you
are copying to a directory otherwise you run the risk of copying the
contents to a file which is pointless.
