Hi, I’ve just upgraded my iPhone. The number is due to port over on Tuesday as I have changed networks. My question is this - If I transfer my data now to the new iPhone, will I still be able to use my current phone until Tuesday or will it wipe all the data from my current phone? Next question - if I do wait til Tuesday to do this, once my number has ported, will I still be able to transfer the contents from phone to phone or will my old sim not work anymore? I’m so confused!

You can transfer your data now, it won't wipe your current device. You can trigger that with a differe t button.

If you choose to wait till your new sim is activated, you'll still be able to access the current one once the sim is deactivated. You can always use an iPhone without a sim. Only thing you'll miss is cellular network. Everything else will be just as functional as it is today.
