Hi The below script will do the both. Even if you select sat/sun it will not calculate as a part of business day. It will throw an error.

For example if you select fri,sat,sun,mon. It will count only for fri and mon  since we are using business day schedule

Client Script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
        return;
    }
    
 var msg = 'Proposed date cannot be prior to 7 business days from Request Date';
 var ga = new GlideAjax('dateValidation'); // SI name
 ga.addParam('sysparm_name','validateDate'); //SI function
 ga.addParam('sysparm_needed_by',newValue);
 ga.getXML(callBack);
 function callBack(response) {
 var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
 alert("answer"+answer);
//Calculating 9 hour schedule to check 7 working days 24*7=168
 if(parseInt(answer)>= 54){ 
 g_form.hideFieldMsg('joining_date'); // variable name
 }
 else{
alert("else");
alert(msg);
g_form.clearValue('joining_date');
 }
 }
}

Script Include

 validateDate: function(){
 var dc = new DurationCalculator();
 dc.setSchedule('08fcd0830a0a0b2600079f56b1adb9ae'); // this is the sys_id of 8-5 weekday schedule in the instance.
 dc.setTimeZone('GMT');
 var dur = dc.calcScheduleDuration(gs.now(),this.getParameter('sysparm_needed_by'))/3600;
 return dur.toString();
 },
