If your written lease ends on a weekend and you do not intend to renew it, then under the express written terms of your lease, you are obligated to vacate the rental on the very last day of the lease (Saturday or Sunday in your example).
If you move out the following day after your lease expired, then technically you have violated an express term of the written agreement.
If you need an additional day or two to move out of your rental, I suggest that you contact your landlord and get express written permission from him or her for an extension.
