Does wordpress.com have an HTML/JavaScript widget so that I can add a PayPayl Express button? Thank you.

Hello there,
You should be able to post your code directly into WordPress’ built-in text widget and it should work.
I would also recommend having a look at the general documentation provided for PayPal Support here, if you haven’t already.

WordPress.com does not allow JavaScript . There are code restrictions on WordPress.com sites.
https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/
https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/#javascriptWordPress.com allows for the use of the simple (no customizations) Buy Now or Donate button from PayPal.
You can sell individual items on your site using your PayPal account and a button directing your readers to the PayPal payment screen.
This is a link to the support document on how to set those up: https://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/
If you are interested in an integrated shopping cart on your site with additional payment options, you may always upgrade to the WordPress. com Business Plan which allows you to install Plugins like WooCommerce, and provides support to you via live chat (as available) and email.
You also may be interested in considering the self-hosted version of WordPress, called WordPress. org.
For information on the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org :

Hi, just to be clear, if I upgrade my wordpress.com account will I be allowed javascript, or is not allowed anywhere across the site?

Hi there,
JavaScript and certain HTML tags are not allowed on WordPress.com, except for sites on the Business Plan, as explained in the support document @chirstinemaze linked to above.
Sites not on the Business Plan can only use the simple PayPal Buy Now button.
