First, it's a TOS violation to speak to a client outside Upwork before you have an Upwork contract in place. That means you are not allowed to communicate via Whatsapp.

Second, is this a free trial you are doing? Did the client ask for a free trial? That is also against the TOS. THe client may not ask for free work. If you do not have a contract currently on Upwork there is no way you are getting paid.

I would let this client know that they need to send you an offer on Upwork for this "trial" week. Paid tests or trials are allowed. But do not work without a contract, and stop communicating off platform before you have a contract.

Read and understand the ToS.
