Explanation:

A compound sentence joins two independent clauses (complete thoughts) with a coordinating conjunction (here, "but"). The sentence has two independent clauses: "I do not want to upset her" and "I can’t play in the game this Saturday", connected by the coordinating conjunction "but".

Answer:

This is a compound sentence.
