I'm trying to find out if it's possible to get a temporary WiFi while waiting for my full fibre as my old WiFi has ended
If you mean your previous broadband service has ended, then no, that's not possible excepting using your phone and mobile data as a hotspot (there may be other options but none of them free).

No: ISPs typically won't (and can't) order a wholesale copper circuit in advance of FTTP being installed. A few forum posts suggest this might happen if the arrival of full fibre is hugely delayed.
Sky Broadband doesn't offer temporary loan of a cellular hotspot either before installation or in the event of a fault.
