The new Scribble function must be explicitly enabled in iPad Settings:

Settings > Pencil > Scribble - set to ON

You also need to know that handwriting recognition is currently limited to English and Chinese.

More information about Scribble can be found here:

Enter text with Scribble on iPad - Apple Support

As for your keyboard, you may need to manually select the appropriate keyboard/language in iPad Settings; do not rely on the Automatic keyboard setting.

I had incorrectly assumed that you had updated to iPadOS14.x - as Scribble is feature of this major release. Until you update your iPad, Scribble will not be available.

After updating from iPadOS13 to iPadOS14, an additional forced-restart is recommended. Anecdotal evidence, based upon reports seen within the ASC Communities, suggest that some functions/settings do not immediately appear - and some reports indicate that several restarts have been required.

On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
On other iPad models: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.

Apple Pencil scribble is only in iOS 14,

Yes it's perfectly normal,

iOS 14 was released on the 16th September 2020

iPad Pro 2020 was released in March 2020.

So Apple will install whatever iOS is available at the time of making the iPad, which is why there can be updates available as soon as you open the iPad.

Have you tried resetting the device?

Have you tried disconnecting the pencil and reconnecting?

Where are you looking on the iPad for the settings?

So far you have provided such little information so it makes it impossible to help.
