Blood oxygen functionality

I bought an Apple Watch 9 in the US today and the blood oxygen is not enabled which is one of the reasons I bought it. When I return to the uk on Friday will this not work as they did not advise this in the store today.

Apple Watch Series 9, watchOS 10

No it will not. You would need to purchase one outside of the US to have the functionality. You can return it to the store you purchased from. The ban was widely reported and reinstated on January 18 for new series 9 and Ultra 2 purchases in the US.
