Hi,

If you mean in WooCoomerce, you can change the same in the WooCommerce settings page. In the WP Admin, please navigate to the WooCommerce → Settings → Products → Measurements → Weight Unit and change the value to your preferred weight unit.  
If you mean in WordPress, please check this tutorial [How to Convert Metric Units to Imperial in WordPress](https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/convert-metric-to-imperial-units-in-wordpress-with-unit-converter/)

This did not work.

I changed it to “Meter” but made no change to the site.
