I am on off today. Does it mean, I am not going to work today. If not please make I am not going to work today sentence using a word off.

Many thanks in advance.

Only context will tell you exactly what is meant.

'I am off today' could mean that I am not at work today or that I am leaving some time today.

'I am off now' could mean that my working day ends now, that I am leaving mow or, possibly, that I am not at work today.
