Observing the Sabbath is not an act of salvation nor is it a violation of Christian fellowship. If you read the Book of Acts carefully you will note that Paul and Barnabas used the occasion of the Sabbath celebration in the temple to preach the gospel. Many Jews and gentiles were saved.

Paul only observe the sabbath with the Jews because he knew there was Jews that did not observe the 1st day of the week, & in order to preach to any Jews, then he would have had to go to the temple on the sabbath, But Paul was not really sent to preach unto the Jews, he was sent to preach unto the gentiles. Paul even said that in his own preaching That he was a teacher of the gentiles, That is Why in Corinthians, Paul said to his followers to bring into the storehouse your tithes on the 1st day of the week, since the Gentiles worship on the 1st day of the week to celebrate the ressurrection of Jesus Christ.

What is wrong with observing Sabbath?
Paul was a Jew also.

It took the newly fledged communities of Christ followers quite a while to realize that their movement was never going to be accepted by Judaism. Persecution helped them figure it out, but until the break was total they still considered themselves Jews. And Jews observe the Sabbath.

Paul was suppose to be a Jew's Jew.Meaning he kept the Torah and even Jesus would have kept the shabbat since his claim to fame was that he never transgressed the Torah and I bet both of them even knew the Shema.

Because Christ did away with the Mosaic law on the cross, not the 10 Commandments.

Paul made the following expression concerning those scrupulously observing “days and months and seasons and years”: “I fear for you, that somehow I have toiled to no purpose respecting you.”—Ga 4:10, 11.

Because the Sabbath is one of the ten commandments and is still beneficial to our faith. Deeds do matter, and faith does matter. It is not obsolete due to faith. We still have to observe God's true commands and such, and we know what is of God through the Holy Spirit.

(1 CORINTHIANS 9:19-23) “For, though I am free from all persons, I have made myself the slave to all, that I may gain the most persons. 20Â And so to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to those under law I became as under law, though I myself am not under law, that I might gain those under law. 21Â To those without law I became as without law, although I am not without law toward God but under law toward Christ, that I might gain those without law. 22Â To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak. I have become all things to people of all sorts, that I might by all means save some. 23Â But I do all things for the sake of the good news, that I may become a sharer of it with [others].”
Paul did this to make people at ease, whereby they would be more prepared to listen to him.
He was teaching those who listened about a change to theor form of worship.
