It is hard to say what it is without seeing and examining your dog. It may be just de-pigmentation of the nose, potentially it could be a form of superficial infection. As long as your dog is not bothered by the change, is bright, is eating and drinking as normal it should be safe to wait until your vets re-open for consultations.
