What app are you trying to delete? Many native apps can't be deleted. If you hold your finger on the app lightly until all apps jiggle, is an x on some apps, but not the one you want to delete, or is there no x on any app?

If there is no x on any app, then you have restricted making changes to apps in Settings > Screentime > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps must be set to allow.

A final thought could be that your iPad is under a company's Mobile Device Management restrictions, where deleting content is not permitted. If that is the case, you would need to speak with the IT administrator at your company for guidance.
