If he's convicted in Court, he doesn't need to be arrested.

If he's arrested, he needs to be convicted in Court.

He's already been indicted and arraigned for all changes Jack Smith has presented. The President (Executive Branch) can't overrule the Court (Judicial Branch) on whether he's held in jail pending trial.
