Newborn jaundice day 10 bilirubin total 11.31mg/dl & bilirubin direct 0.43mg/dl day 20 bilirubin total 5.6 & bilirubin direct 1.0 should i b worried?

Should be fine: The only thing that i would recommend keeping an eye on is the direct bilirubin of 1.0 at 20 days of life. While not problematic at this point, it should be followed up on.

More testing needed.: Probably nothing however the direct component of the bilirubin is rising. It sounds like your pediatrician is following this. But if baby is healthy likely ok. Premature infants should be followed more closely?
