Extract the week day from the timestamp, then check events that match your conditions. Something like this:

... | eval date_wday=strftime(_time,"%a") | search date_wday="Sat" OR date_wday="Sun"

Note: the date_wday field is most often created automatically by Splunk, so if you're seeing that all your events already have this, you don't need to create it yourself using eval like what I did above. However there are situations when it will not be created, so make sure first that you're not encountering that problem.
