This time of year they hibernate so would be very reluctant to release it yet..
As to whether to release it later that depends entirely if the slow worm is fit and well enough to be released.
You said it was in a bad way and advised not to be released so I take it it needs care for a while..
I would take it to a vet to get it checked over and let them know your willing to care for it until they think it can be released.
