Please try this:

jobs:
- job:
  variables:
    a: $[format('{0}"&"sub-key={1}', variables.Url, variables.SubscriptionKey)]
  steps:
    - task: PowerShell@2
      inputs:
        targetType: 'filepath'
        filePath: $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/psscript.ps1
        arguments: >
            -ContainerName $(ContainerName)
            -Url $(a)
      displayName: 'Uploading files'

Thank you, variables.SubscriptionKey this is actually coming form keyvault not form the variable – kumar8891 Jul 07 '21 at 19:09
It is still mapped to variable.`$(SubscriptionKey)` this is nothing more than secret variable. – Krzysztof Madej Jul 07 '21 at 19:14
getting the below error The term 'sub-key=' is not recognized as a name of a | cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program. – kumar8891 Jul 07 '21 at 19:17
Did you fix my mistake here `$[format('{0}&sub-key={1}', variables.Url, variables.SubscriptionKey)]` i missed one parenthesis – Krzysztof Madej Jul 07 '21 at 20:17
yes i fixed this after that i am getting sub-key=' is not recognized as a name of a | cmdlet – kumar8891 Jul 07 '21 at 21:09
a: $[format('{0}&sub-key={1}', variables.Url, variables.SubscriptionKey)] if i remove & from &sub-key it is working fine i need to add && in the format – kumar8891 Jul 08 '21 at 07:05
a: $[format('{0}"&"sub-key={1}', variables.Url, variables.SubscriptionKey)] "&" worked for me Thank you – kumar8891 Jul 08 '21 at 07:28
Cool. I edited my answer to change the pattern. Could you consider accepting my reply as answer? – Krzysztof Madej Jul 08 '21 at 07:47
