Re: visitation
I would wait 1 hour. If he does not show up, then he forfeits his visit since you were ordered to have the child available at 6pm on Friday night.
To protect yourself, I'd have a witness there that is willing to testify that you were home with the child ready to go and he never called or showed up.
You are not be be held "hostage" for the entire week-end.
To protect yourself -- document, document, document.
Re: visitation
No. You do not have to sit and wait, but you should document the fact that he is not picking up the child(ren) as ordered. Otherwise, he might complain that you are interfering with his visitation. (Not that it is true, but sometimes said)
